I often see requests on here for statistics on how many refugees have come from a certain country. I don't think people are aware that you can find settlement data on the Settlement Reporting Facility. It is often up to date, and if you need more complex responses you can also email the helpline.

Note this is only for resettled refugees (not asylum seekers). I'm also happy to help further if you want to get in contact.
