Ukraine data dashboard

This Migration Yorkshire dashboard presents an area profile about the Ukrainian population for each local authority area in Yorkshire and Humber and at a national level.

The dashboard is updated every fortnight. The title will always reflect the date of the latest data.

Open the dashboard in a separate tab.

What’s covered in the dashboard? 

The dashboard presents data from three different sources:

Data about applications, visas issued and arrivals under the Homes for Ukraine (H4U) sponsorship scheme. 

• Data about the scheme is released from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) and Home Office, usually on Thursdays and will be updated in the dashboard every two weeks.
• This data can be used to understand how many new arrivals local authorities can expect (applications, visas issued) and how many people have arrived (arrivals) to plan support and services.
• Data only covers the Homes for Ukraine sponsorship scheme.
• Data is linked to the local authority of the sponsor’s address (or accommodation address if different).
• The data is provisional management information taken from live operational systems and should not be treated as official statistics. It is subject to change and likely to include some duplicate records.
• Some records don't have a suitable postcode for mapping to local authorities (around 2 per cent). These are not included in local authority and regional counts but are included in the UK national counts.
• The Scottish and Welsh governments have undertaken to match beneficiaries without a named sponsor at the point of application, to a suitable sponsor in due course. Therefore data for Scotland and Wales in the regional and national counts includes those cases sponsored by the Scottish and Welsh Governments. There is a known undercount in the Northern Ireland arrivals data due to people being able to arrive into the Republic of Ireland and crossing the border into Northern Ireland, who are not counted in the current data feeds from Home Office.

Census 2021 data about the Ukrainian born population released from the Office of National Statistics (ONS). 

• Data also covers Belarus, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia to capture wider populations affected by the conflict and has been included.
• This data can be used to gain insight into where the existing Ukrainian and wider population groups may be living or shed some light onto which areas may receive high numbers of arrivals.
• The data refers to the population as of Census day (21 March 2021) so will not include people that have migrated since the conflict started in March 2022.
• The data does not include people who have heritage or family ties to those countries but were born in the UK or elsewhere.
• No counts of less than 20 have been published for data disclosure purposes.

• Data about National Insurance numbers (NINO) allocated to Ukrainian nationals.
• Data also covers Belarus, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia to capture wider populations affected by the conflict has been included.
• This data can be used to gain insight into the areas where Ukrainians and the wider population groups have chosen to live when they first arrived in the UK.
• Data about applications will be updated quarterly when data is released from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), usually in the third Thursday of February, May, August and November.
• The data shows the residence of the applicant when the NINO was allocated. They could have relocated since or may have been resident at that location or elsewhere in the UK for some time before they applied for a NINO.
• The main groups that this dataset does not cover are children under 16 and asylum seekers.
• No counts of less than 5 have been published for data disclosure purposes.

How do you operate the dashboard? 

The dashboard has been designed to be viewed on a laptop or desktop screen. Currently some interactive features are less compatible on mobile screens.

We encourage you to view visualisations in full screen mode to ensure the visualisation and labels are clearly visible. You can do this by clicking the focus mode icon (square with arrows which appears at the top right of the visualisation when you hover over it) and minimise again by clicking “Back to report”. You can use the arrow in the top left corner to navigate between the local and national pages.

Sharing insights 

Data from the visualisations cannot be downloaded; you can refer to the original data source linked to above if you require this.
You can use the snipping tool or print screen functions on your device to take copies of any visualisation, or request a .jpeg file from the Data and Statistics team.

There is a lot to take in at first sight. We would encourage you to take time to familiarise yourself with the contents of each visual. Ensure you pay attention to areas selected in the filters, time periods, when data is at local, regional or national level, titles of charts and axes labels.
We hope this dashboard is useful for you to learn about the Homes for Ukraine scheme, and influence policy and strategy and develop evidence-based services.

This is a new method for Migration Yorkshire to share data and statistics. We’d appreciate hearing your feedback and comments, please contact us.
