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 2 (31 Dec 2025) and the lowest 0 (30 Sep 2023). The latest is 1. The series starts at 30 Sep 2023, so an earlier or later extreme would not appear in it.

Rank, then and now

Maldon has a recorded caseload in only some of these quarters, so a rank comparison across the whole series would be misleading.

Its own caseload changed by +1 over the same period, against -28,383 across England.

Language in schools

The Department for Education publishes pupils by first language at county level, not for district authorities such as Maldon, 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

0 households were owed a homelessness relief duty in Maldon after being required to leave Home Office asylum accommodation (January to March 2026) — of 24 households owed that duty for any 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.
