No average, I've been a brown belt for 5 years, almost exactly one stripe on my brown per year. I spent more time brown than all of my other belts combined. It hasn't been from a lack of effort either.... Just the way shit goes in jits.
It depends on the person.
I was a white belt for 5 years, a blue belt for 5 years and I have been a purple for 3 1/2
It took me 4 years from white to blue, about 4 years at blue. My training is no longer as regular as it was when I was a white belt though.
Some guys are natural JJ beasts and progress extremely quickly. ala Red the Destroyer and Nathan Orchard.
