what is the average height for a woman in usa
The average woman is very close to 5'5 in the United States (164 cm), but tall women are usually considered to start at 5'9 and up (175 cm) because this is the standard for supermodels. And though it seems like a very common height for any woman in every day society, only less than 5% of women are 5'9 and up.
Furthermore, the average height of an adult woman has increased over the last decade. For example in 1914 the average woman height in the USA was 158.5 centimeters and in 2014 it had risen by 5 cm to 163.5 cms according to the Imperial College of London.
