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. Census figures aggregated from the pre-2023 districts (Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough, Selby) that now form North Yorkshire. Numbers say where the asylum system places people — they say nothing about any individual.
