Hillingdon ranks 4 nationally and 1 in London for supported asylum count, placing it around the 99th percentile of local authorities by volume.
The supported asylum rate here is 64.8 per 10,000 residents, around the 100th percentile nationally. This matters because smaller places can carry a sharper load than bigger city totals imply.
1,896 people are in contingency accommodation here, around 88.9% of the supported asylum population and roughly the 100th percentile by contingency count.
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.
The area profile should show route composition, not force users to infer it from a single asylum count.
The regional ranking matters because high-pressure areas compete for attention with their nearest peers, not just with the national top ten.
Hillingdon sits 4 nationally by supported asylum count and 1 within London. The raw volume is 2,133, but the rate of 64.8 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 726. 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 Hillingdon inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.
Place pages should merge live route data with the named and unnamed hotel evidence already on the public record.
That does not mean the area has no hotel use. It means the ledger has no publishable public evidence row attached yet.
