COMMENTS
The arithmetic mean of 6 primes in its "neighborhood"; not to be confused with 'Triply balanced primes' (A081415).
A balanced prime of order three is not necessarily balanced of order one (A006562) or two (A082077), etc. [Typo corrected by Zak Seidov, Jul 23 2008]

EXAMPLE
p = 53 = (41 + 43 + 47 + 53 + 59 + 61 + 67)/7 = 371/7 i.e. it is the arithmetic mean.
