This line chart compares the mean and median length of stay for youth released from Juvenile Hall by month.
Mean is calculated by adding the number of days each youth was in Juvenile Hall prior to release, and then dividing it by the number of releases for a given time period.
Median is calculated by ordering the number of days each youth was in Juvenile Hall prior to release for a given time period from smallest to largest and selecting the middle number. The median tends to reflect the most common experience.
