The Home Office publishes data on the processing of applications for British citizenship on the Gov.uk website.

Information on the location of customers who have applied for citizenship is not currently available from published statistics, and the relevant data could only be collated and verified for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

Data on the number of citizenship applications decided each quarter can be found here: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK

The number of outstanding citizenship applications each quarter can be found here: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK
