Where this sits in the record

Everything here comes from the same published accommodation table as the figures above, across the 12 quarters it covers — so it is available for every authority in all four nations, and no figure is combined with one from a different collection.

Highest and lowest recorded

The highest quarter recorded here is 414 (30 Sep 2023) and the lowest 43 (30 Jun 2026). The latest snapshot is the lowest of the 12. The series starts at 30 Sep 2023, so an earlier or later extreme would not appear in it.

Rank, then and now

Broxbourne ranked #94 of 315 authorities with a recorded caseload in 30 Sep 2023, and #235 of 346 now. It has moved down 141 places.

Its own caseload changed by -371 over the same period, against -28,383 across England — 1.3% of that national movement.

Language in schools

The Department for Education publishes pupils by first language at county level, not for district authorities such as Broxbourne, so no figure is shown here rather than borrowing the county's.

A pupil's first language is not immigration status, and this is not a count of migrant children — most pupils with another first language are British citizens. State-funded schools only.

When asylum accommodation ends

7 households were owed a homelessness relief duty in Broxbourne after being required to leave Home Office asylum accommodation (January to March 2026) — of 63 households owed that duty for any reason. A further 3 were owed a prevention duty for the same reason.

Households, not people. Prevention (threatened with homelessness) and relief (already homeless) are different duties and are never added together here — a household can move from one to the other.

Support counts are a point-in-time snapshot by registered address; contingency sites open and close between quarters. Census figures are from March 2021 and predate arrivals since. Numbers say where the asylum system places people — they say nothing about any individual.
