An average isn't very helpful here. A single kettle / oven / heater will use 1 kW by itself.

Not every house will have one of those on at all times. Sure, a house could use many multiples more than 1 kW for a bit, but will go back down eventually.

Yes, that's why an average isn't too meaningful. The times these things are on aren't the same for every house, but they are correlated.
