Scale

Portsmouth is the first authority to read

Portsmouth currently leads the region by supported asylum count at 742, which is why the regional story should narrow into that authority first.

Intensity

Reading carries the sharpest rate pressure in this published field

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

Visibility

Hotel evidence is visible, but not evenly resolved

1 place pages already carry named current hotel evidence, while 0 still only have unnamed acknowledged use.

Scale first

Use total to see where the largest supported-asylum stock sits before you narrow into one authority.

Use this page

Use South East in three moves

The region page narrows the field before you open individual authorities, so the place layer feels readable instead of overwhelming.

01 Start here

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 findings

02 Then go local

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.

03 Only if needed

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.
