Volume

Doncaster is outside the top ten by volume, but still carries a material local load

Doncaster ranks 52 nationally and 7 in Yorkshire and The Humber for supported asylum count, placing it around the 86th percentile of local authorities by volume.

Intensity

The rate picture is important, even where the headline count is lower

The supported asylum rate here is 20.58 per 10,000 residents, around the 77th percentile nationally. This matters because smaller places can carry a sharper load than bigger city totals imply.

Accommodation model

The local picture leans more toward dispersal than contingency pressure

147 people are in contingency accommodation here, around 22.3% of the supported asylum population and roughly the 80th percentile by contingency count.

Visibility

The hotel layer is still mostly invisible in public records here

No named current site or unnamed acknowledged count is attached to this area yet, which is itself a reminder that absence of public evidence is not evidence of absence.

Local reading Yorkshire and The Humber

How this place reads in context

Doncaster sits 52 nationally by supported asylum count and 7 within Yorkshire and The Humber. The raw volume is 658, but the rate of 20.58 per 10,000 residents gives a cleaner sense of local intensity than the headline count on its own.

Homes for Ukraine is the largest non-asylum pathway in this area at 360. That matters because the local story is not just about one route family; it is about how asylum support, humanitarian schemes, and historic resettlement stack together in one place.

Yorkshire and The Humber as a whole currently carries 9,748 people on supported asylum, with a weighted regional rate of 17.18 per 10,000 residents. This page puts Doncaster inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.
