Hillingdon can be mentioned today as the Asylum Seeker Hotspot in Great Britain.
For every 10,000 inhabitants in the West -London town, government statistics show that 97 are asylum seekers.
The vast majority is currently housed in hotels, under a national scheme that costs taxpayers almost £ 3 billion a year.
The interactive map of MailOnline today reveals the number of asylum seekers supported in the United Kingdom at the end of 2024.
The latest data, released by the House of Commons Library, shows that 109,100 are currently being housed.
Yet critics moan that they are not evenly spread, with the locals in hotspots of asylum seeker who are admitted that they feel unsafe at night.
Fifty -nine of the 361 authorities do not accommodate.
The policy of the home office is to distribute them throughout the country, and civil servants say that they do not have a choice with regard to location and the accommodation.

Robert Bates, from the Center for Migration Control, said: 'The investigation presented here shows that the burden of this crisis falls disproportionately on the shoulders of communities in the red wall and overburdened local councils in the North.
“The large numbers that are housed in London also makes it far too easy for these people to easily disappear into the gray economy, to slip out of sight of the authorities and stay in Great Britain without the right to do this.”
Of the total number of asylum seekers, 42,800 lived in 'initial accommodation', which is intended as a shorter term.
The vast majority of people in this category live in hotels, with dozens in use in the United Kingdom.
Another 65,700 were housed in 'distribution accommodation' in the longer term, managed by providers on behalf of the home office.
In terms of raw songs, Glasgow (4,193) has placed more than Hillingdon.
But if you take the population into account, this corresponded to a percentage of 67 asylum seekers for every 10,000 inhabitants, making it fourth in the league table.
Behind Hillingdon came, when only the rates consider, Hounslow (73 per 10,000) and Halton in Merseyside (70).
Mr Bates said: 'The home office grants asylum too easy. Labor has a casual effort to refuse status to those who come in Great Britain illegally.
'This is a huge pull factor and has led a system to crack to the seams – that costs the taxpayer more than £ 6 billion a year.

'Freezing the ash system while we try to deal with the enormous backlog is the only feasible way ahead.
'The British audience has had enough of this farce.
'It is a burning injustice in the heart of our society that economically illegal migrants move British families in housing queues, have access to welfare support 24 hours a day.
“It smokes an establishment that gives more for international obligations than the well -being, safety and happiness of his own people.”
The home office said it worked for an honest and fair distribution of asylum accommodation in the United Kingdom '.
Last month the people of a quiet photo postcard Essex Village said they are about to be in the minority by asylum seekers housed in a former RAF airport next door.
While Wethersfield has a population of 707 people, the home office is planning to increase the number of migrants at MDP Wethersfield to 800.
Villagers said they do not feel safe at night through the streets and country road strips because of the threat of antisocial behavior by groups of men from the largest facility of the UK for asylum seekers roaming the area.
Those who live closest to the base, formerly the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense Police (MDP), and for that an WW2 RAF and the American airbase say that their houses are now unsaleable.
More than 108,000 people applied for asylum in the UK in the UK in 2024 – the highest annual number ever registered. Yet half was refused at the first decision.

The British small boat crisis has stimulated the growing toll, with tens of thousands who have been pulled by the canal since 2018 in search of a better life.
In 2023, asylum seekers and refugees formed around 11 percent of immigrants to the UK.
Mr Bates believes that the only way to prevent the crisis of the small boats of asylum seekers is a good deterrent.
He said: 'A deterrent such as the Rwanda plan is the only way ahead.
'It would alleviate the pressure on local public services, while it was also sent a clear message to potential channel cruisers that they will never have the right to live in our country if they enter illegally.
'Just rubber stamp asylum claims, as the Labor government does, only worsens the problem and means that many undeserved individuals get refugee status.
“The slow removal of failed applicants that cancel the system requires the continuous use of hotels and offers too many possibilities for the applicant to just disappear.”
It is because the total costs of adjusting asylum seekers in hotels are now £ 5.5 million every day, according to figures obtained through time.
The number of migrants living in hotels at the expense of taxpayers has also risen by 8,500 under work.
The increase comes despite their election manifesto to “end asylum hotels, which saves the taxpayer billions of pounds.”

Figures showed that there were 38,079 in hotels at the end of December, compared to 29,585 at the end of June – an increase of 29 percent.
The home office still has to determine a clear end date on migrant hotels, because it does not want to commit to 'random goals'.
Earlier this week a source said: 'Setting a date would set us to fail. We don't want to become a hostage for the fortune as we saw under the failed commitments of the last government. '
The only vague period of time given by the department was the best official in the Department, the best official in the Department last month.
He said MPs that the goal is to 'reach' zero at the end of the parliament, leaving the possibility that migrant hotels could stay until August 2029.
A spokesperson for the home office said: 'The government inherited an ash system under an unprecedented tribe, with almost £ 9 million a day that was spent on asylum hotels at the end of 2023, and more than 400 hotels throughout the country.
'We are determined to restore the order in the shelter system to ensure that it works quickly, sturdy and fairly, and we are also committed to lower the unacceptably high costs of asylum accommodation, including the termination of hotels over time.
“In the meantime, the Home Office continues to work on a fair and fair distribution of asylum accommodation in the United Kingdom and maintaining a continuous dialogue with local authorities in the United Kingdom to ensure that they have the support they need.”
