Abstract
Several definitions for the average local value and local variance of a quantum observable are examined and compared with their classical counterparts. An explicit way to construct an infinite number of these quantities is provided. It is found that different classical conditions may be satisfied by different definitions, but none of the quantum definitions examined is entirely consistent with all classical requirements.
