Default Average is the mean, not mode

An average of 3 times is just that, an average. If your concerns are an average number dictating what will happen to you, don’t count on the number being yours.

Mean= average or the addition of all moves divided by the total of all families
Mode= the number most often occurring (such as 1 and done or we moved ….times)

I would wager the mode of 1 (buying and not moving) occurs a whole lot more than those that move and move again multiple times. Seven or even 8 couples on a block may never move, there will always that other indecisive handful that drive your average number up.
