The regional ranking matters because high-pressure areas compete for attention with their nearest peers, not just with the national top ten.
Barnsley sits 116 nationally by supported asylum count and 11 within Yorkshire and The Humber. The raw volume is 277, but the rate of 11 per 10,000 residents gives a cleaner sense of local intensity than the headline count on its own.
Afghan programme is the largest non-asylum pathway in this area at 149. 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 Barnsley inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.
