We prove an asymptotic formula for the mean-square average of $L$- functions associated to subgroups of characters of sufficiently large size. Our proof relies on the study of certain character sums ${\cal A}(p,d)$ recently introduced by E. Elma. We obtain an asymptotic formula for ${\cal A}(p,d)$ which holds true for any divisor $d$ of $p-1$ removing previous restrictions on the size of $d$. This anwers a question raised in Elma's paper. Our proof relies both on estimates on the frequency of large character sums and techniques from the theory of uniform distribution. As an application we deduce the following bound $h_{p,d}^- \leq 2\left (\frac{(1+o(1))p}{24}\right )^{m/4}$ on the relative class numbers of the imaginary number fields of conductor $p\equiv 1\mod d$ and degree $m=(p-1)/d$.
