There is no average number of words in a chapter. Sections of a specific book are all about the same length. The length should be sufficient to cover the material.

 
+6

Chapter length can vary depending on the purposes of the author. For things like memoirs and autobiographies, the length is going to be a bitter longer, on the order of 5,000 words or so. Text-book type non-fiction books will be shorter, and the length will be tied to the topic.
