it seems to me that a year is a fairly average engagement length.

I don't see why it matters. The difference between dating exclusively and being engaged is all in your head anyway.
Now, if you asked how long people should date before they get married, that's a different story. But even then, it depends on the people in question. Everybody's different. And like my aunt said, you can be with somebody for 2 years or 10 years, and you'll know them just as well...people always change.
