The regional ranking matters because high-pressure areas compete for attention with their nearest peers, not just with the national top ten.
Wakefield sits 41 nationally by supported asylum count and 6 within Yorkshire and The Humber. The raw volume is 713, but the rate of 19.39 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 287. 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 Wakefield inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.
