The 51.4% county figure is 2.7 pp above the 48.7% UK number (2023-24 DVSA data), which makes Southampton better than average on the headline measure. Within-county variation matters as much as the average, individual centres can sit anywhere from ten points above to ten points below the county number once you compare them side by side.
