Sure thing: you can use a hash to hold an array of digit entries for each city you encounter, like this:

$ cat pm1207805.pl #!usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::CSV; use List::Util qw(sum); use Data::Dumper; my $csv = Text::CSV->new(); my $FH = \*DATA; my %accumulator; # Gather the digits for the cities while (my $row = $csv->getline($FH)) { my $city = $row->[1]; my $digits = $row->[3]; push @{$accumulator{$city}}, $digits; } # What do we have to work with? print "Data:\n", Dumper(\%accumulator), "\n\n"; # Dump our results for my $city (sort keys %accumulator) { my $num_rows = @{$accumulator{$city}}; print "$city: ", sum(@{$accumulator{$city}}) / $num_rows, "\n"; } __DATA__ CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,10 CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,20 CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,14 CA006138520,"NEW YORK",2018-01-02,11 CA006137520,"PHILADELPHIA, ON CA",2018-01-02,23 CA006137520,"PHILADELPHIA, ON CA",2018-01-02,25 CA006138520,"NEW YORK",2018-01-02,13 CA006138520,"NEW YORK",2018-01-02,19

When you run it, you should get:

$ perl pm1207805.pl Data: $VAR1 = { 'WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA' => [ '10', '20', '14' ], 'PHILADELPHIA, ON CA' => [ '23', '25' ], 'NEW YORK' => [ '11', '13', '19' ] }; NEW YORK: 14.3333333333333 PHILADELPHIA, ON CA: 24 WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA: 14.6666666666667
