Header search on this map looks up licensed sponsors— not the asylum organisation register.

Where?

EU settled status by all 32 councils, as at 31 March 2026. Work, study and family visas by council are not published.

Sponsor counts come from the town on the public register, not a postcode. Zero matched rows may mean no town match — not a proven zero licences. A licence is not a person. We never compare these figures to asylum support.
