Introduction
The average height in America is 5’9″ for men and 5’4″ for women. However, it may vary from state to state. For instance, Montana and Utah are the tallest states in America with an average height of 5’7.7″, while Hawaii has the lowest average height of 5’6″. States like Minnesota, Oregon, and Alaska are tied at 5’7.5″, while a large group of states, including Iowa, North and South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, and Idaho, have an average height of 5’7.4″. There seems to be a slight regional trend, with the upper Midwest and mountain states having higher average heights, while states in the South and Northeast have lower average heights. It is important to note that these differences in height may be influenced by various factors, such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle.
