    Such a beautiful color gradient to show a difference of 1.7"

    I think this is just loosely a map of white people.

        Caucasians in the US have the tallest average height, which means a map with a gradient by height is sort of just highlighting how white a state is: Utah, Montana, Alaska, most of the Midwest, etc.

    This had to include both men and women right?

      Indeed - if you look at the table in the article, it lists averages by gender: https://wisevoter.com/state-rankings/average-height-by-state/

    I would’ve liked to know the age range included in the criteria. It says men and women, so I assume adults, but how adult are we talking?

    I’m sure if babies were included, it’d drop a lot across the board. They always bring everything down, until they don’t.
