Depends what you mean by average. The mean is less than 2. The median is 2. And the mode is 2.

I would say the average is 2.

It's like when people say that the most workers earn less than the average wage. That's because they calculated the average using the mean, which is misleading in that case. Because of outliers, the median is the appropriate type of average for wages.
