42.06 per 10,000 residents, which helps separate local intensity from the larger raw totals elsewhere in the region.

Regional places worth opening first
These are the highest-volume public place pages in the region-led slice.
Use this page
Use East of England in three moves
The region page narrows the field before you open individual authorities, so the place layer feels readable instead of overwhelming.
Read the regional pressure frame before opening a single authority
The region page tells you whether the story is mainly about scale, rate intensity, hotel visibility, or a smaller set of high-pressure places.
Open the leading authorities inside this region
Each place card carries the local supported-asylum count, contingency position, and hotel visibility summary, so you can move from region to place without losing the thread.
Use the local evidence timeline before the full ledger
The lower-level layer here is a dated timeline of named public sites, not a fake town map. The full regional place list sits behind the deep-data drawer once you need verification.
