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 121 (30 Jun 2026) and the lowest 10 (31 Dec 2023). The latest snapshot is the highest 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
Gedling ranked #250 of 315 authorities with a recorded caseload in 30 Sep 2023, and #169 of 346 now. It has moved up 81 places.
Its own caseload changed by +104 over the same period, against -28,383 across England.
Accommodation mix, against England
| Accommodation type | People here | Share here | Share in England |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dispersal accommodation | 116 | 95.9% | 72.2% |
| Contingency accommodation | — | 0% | 20.1% |
| — of which hotels | — | 0% | 18.5% |
| Initial accommodation | — | 0% | 1.6% |
| Other or unclassified | 5 | 4.1% | 6.1% |
Hotels are a subset of contingency accommodation, so the shares do not sum to 100%. Both columns come from the same snapshot of the same table.

The legal route, locally
Alongside asylum dispersal, Gedling has received 52 people through formal resettlement schemes since 2014 (none in the last four published quarters).
Language in schools
The Department for Education publishes pupils by first language at county level, not for district authorities such as Gedling, 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
1 household was owed a homelessness relief duty in Gedling after being required to leave Home Office asylum accommodation (January to March 2026) — of 29 households owed that duty for any reason. A further 5 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.
