2025-12-31 evidence frame
Volume

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

Hackney ranks 58 nationally and 8 in London for supported asylum count, placing it around the 84th 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 22.08 per 10,000 residents, around the 80th percentile nationally. This matters because smaller places can carry a sharper load than bigger city totals imply.

Accommodation model

A large share of support is sitting in contingency accommodation

534 people are in contingency accommodation here, around 90.7% of the supported asylum population and roughly the 97th 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 route metrics

The area profile should show route composition, not force users to infer it from a single asylum count.

Local reading London

How this place reads in context

Hackney sits 58 nationally by supported asylum count and 8 within London. The raw volume is 589, but the rate of 22.08 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 553. 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.

London as a whole currently carries 16,378 people on supported asylum, with a weighted regional rate of 18.02 per 10,000 residents. This page puts Hackney inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.

Hotel evidence for this place

Place pages should merge live route data with the named and unnamed hotel evidence already on the public record.

Evidence gap

No public hotel evidence logged yet

That does not mean the area has no hotel use. It means the ledger has no publishable public evidence row attached yet.
