Volna Nizhny Novgorod Oblast score most with 45 goals. Spartak Tambov defend best, conceding 12, while Kvant Obninsk have shipped 61 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.
A club takes 1.4 points per match on average and scores 30.2 goals across the season. The median is 28 points (Rodina-3 Moscow), with 7 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.

Russian Second League Division B, Group 3: division size and what it changes
The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 16 clubs each plays 21 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.
For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.
Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.
