Scale

Bristol, City of is the first authority to read

Bristol, City of currently leads the region by supported asylum count at 1,108, which is why the regional story should narrow into that authority first.

Intensity

Gloucester carries the sharpest rate pressure in this published field

27.99 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

No place page in this regional slice carries publishable hotel evidence yet, which is an evidence gap rather than proof of no hotel use.
