Counts follow the size of the place, so the largest places tend to come first.

Notes

Homeless people the council had placed in temporary accommodation on the last day of the month, of every age: StatsWales counts people, where England counts households. Not seasonally adjusted, so each month is shown beside the same month a year before.
StatsWales notes that the Vale of Glamorgan's figures for November 2025 to June 2026 repeat its October 2025 figures, which it carried forward while the council's returns were missing.
