4 MPs cover constituencies in or overlapping Ards and North Down.
Rank 347 of 361 councils nationally. The rate of 0 per 10,000 puts Ards and North Down in the 4th percentile. That means fewer than 96% of areas.
None. Ards and North Down recorded nobody receiving Home Office asylum support at 30 June 2026, the most recent quarter published. Dozens of UK councils carry no supported asylum population at all, and the figure can move to and from zero between quarters as the Home Office moves people between areas.
Quarter-end stock series to Mar 2026. A rise or fall is a net change in the number of people on support at period end, not the number of new claims or distinct people moving through the caseload. Support stock also overlaps with, but is not identical to, the awaiting-decision backlog.
