Cagliari around the national average
Cagliari sits mid-table at number 34 of 102, and its 61.78% is 1.51 points from the national average of 60.27%. In the table the province sits between Bari (62.01%) and Venezia (61.73%), a span of 0.28 points in all.
The figure rests on 10,016 theory tests sat in 2025, the 23rd largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 1.09% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. Shifting the rate by one point would take about 100 different outcomes, a volume that makes the figure insensitive to single cases.
