Agreed, except we need the MEDIAN to adjust for extremes.
A one-time event of 50, with the rest of the year being 5 will also
produce skewed numbers if you average or use mean is used.
Median adjusts for outliers as the “50” would be.
That is why “Maximum” is really unhelpful to understand what space
need truly are.

The COA has given the town maximum and minimum numbers for elder
uses of the current programs, but this really tells us nothing. We
need mean or average uses for these programs. Otherwise we are basing
substantial town financial decisions on an unknown.
As an elder, I am only able to afford to stay in Lincoln by renting
rooms and teaching piano. The town needs to be frugal after the
profligate school expense.
