According to the Macmillan Dictionary, the phrase on average is already
used for talking about what is usually true, although it may not be true in every individual situation.
The phrase true on average is already concise and idiomatic (and perhaps even redundant), and there’s NOT much to be gained by trying to express it in one word.

agree “Go to heaven, be blessed with”
