20 people were receiving Home Office asylum support in Clackmannanshire at 30 June 2026, the most recent quarter published. That ranks 280th of 361 UK local authorities. It counts people on support at that date, which is not the number who claimed asylum there and not the number waiting for a decision.
3.88 per 10,000 residents, which places Clackmannanshire in the 39th percentile of UK local authorities. It carries fewer per head than 61% of the country. Rate is the fair comparison between areas, because a large city carries more people than a small district at the same pressure per head.
Not on the published figures. Clackmannanshire recorded nobody in contingency accommodation at 30 June 2026, which is the category that includes hotels. The 20 people on asylum support there are recorded in dispersal housing or on subsistence-only support.
Mears holds the Home Office asylum accommodation contract for the region Clackmannanshire sits in, under the Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts. The contract covers a whole region rather than a single council, and the Home Office does not publish a council-by-council split of which properties sit under it.
No. 1 of the 20 on support in Clackmannanshire, about 5%, receive subsistence only: a cash payment with no accommodation, usually because they are living with friends or family. The rest are in Home Office accommodation, which covers dispersal housing and hotels.
Quarter-end stock series to Jun 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.
