Average Chapter length 748 words, Range 935 words, Median 803 words. Jon was a little all over the place in terms of chapter length. That range is almost 300 words more than my longest chapter.

Novella: between 17,500 and 40,000 words. Novel: anything over 40,000 words. However, 40,000 words is actually pretty short for a novel. Generally, 50,000 would be considered the minimum word count, and ideally a novel should be over 70,000 words. On the upper end, a novel over 110,000 words is considered an epic. That's the level where publishers may suggest dividing a story into multiple volumes.
