By default there is no dedicated display of the selected region length. But Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Toolbar > Show Selection Clock will do what you want (though the clock actually shows the time for both region and range selections.

There selection-clock was moved into the editor-sidebar in 5.x (Menu > View > Show Editor Lists) because it’s usually only relevant for the editor (not the Mixer – shared common toolbar for the same window). The preference is provided for backwards compatibility or user-specifics.
