Reading the figures
Home Office publishes local-authority counts by accommodation type and quarter. These are counts of people, not hotels or houses. Accommodation categories exclude subsistence-only support; all support includes it.
Scotland note: hotel and dispersal counts are reported separately. A zero hotel count does not imply no asylum accommodation. Cost estimates use the same national benchmarks across the UK.
The data does not show which hotels' occupants moved into which houses, HMOs or streets. UK Decline does not publish or infer private addresses.
