Scale
Birmingham is the first authority to read
Birmingham currently leads the region by supported asylum count at 2,637, which is why the regional story should narrow into that authority first.
Intensity
Stoke-on-Trent carries the sharpest rate pressure in this published field
47.3 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.

Use this page
Use West Midlands 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.
