Volume

Perth and Kinross is outside the top ten by volume, but still carries a material local load

Perth and Kinross ranks 143 nationally and 5 in Scotland for supported asylum count, placing it around the 61th 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 13.02 per 10,000 residents, around the 63th percentile nationally. This matters because smaller places can carry a sharper load than bigger city totals imply.

A large share of support is sitting in contingency accommodation

197 people are in contingency accommodation here, around 98% of the supported asylum population and roughly the 84th percentile by contingency count.

Visibility

There is already enough public hotel evidence here to make the secrecy gap concrete

0 named current sites and 2 unnamed publicly acknowledged sites are attached to this area in the starter ledger.

How this place reads in context

Perth and Kinross sits 143 nationally by supported asylum count and 5 within Scotland. The raw volume is 201, but the rate of 13.02 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 494. 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.

Scotland as a whole currently carries 6,688 people on supported asylum, with a weighted regional rate of 12.06 per 10,000 residents. This page puts Perth and Kinross inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.
