Don't Watch This If You're Short | TALL GIRLS ONLY
Not really. The average white American woman is 5′5″ and the standard deviation is 3″ so 5′7″ is within 1 standard deviation and thus not considered tall. 5′7″ is a moderate/average height and therefore not considered tall. Based on the statistics, “tall for a woman” begins at 5′8″ (1SD or 84th percentile) so 5′7″ is not tall. Moderate at most. To be honest, it might as well be average or even below average because most white women in their 20s to early 30s are between 5′6″ and 5′11″. In my opinion, men are considered tall at 6′2″ (90th percentile) and women are considered tall at 5′9″ (90th percentile).
If you are black or Native American, please subtract an inch from the heights that are written in bold. If you’re Hispanic, please subtract 3 inches and if you are Indian or Asian, please subtract 5 inches.
After subtracting, you will know the average height of non-white women and what is considered tall for them.
But if you consider “above average” or “moderate” as “tall”. Then a 5′7″ woman would be tall by your definition.
The average height for a girl in the U.S. is 5′4″ [1] , some here says It’s 5′5″ , others say even 5′7″. This is incorrect and everybody can claim whatever they want but it means nothing as long as they don’t provide evidence.
5′7″ is the equivalent of about 6 foot for man, which is quite tall. So those who say 5′7″ is average height for girls are either feminists or ignorants. If 5′7″ is average , then 6′0″ is average for men even though It’s 3 inches above the average height.

Main Digest
Are you older than 20? Try our Adults Height to Weight Chart.
Our easy to read optimum height to weight ratio charts, cover newborn babies to teenage girls and boys, and will give you a general idea of whether you are of average weight for your age and height without using complicated percentile graphs, however, please keep in mind the following:
1 - Height and weight ratio charts are not truly accurate measures or indicators, especially for young children and teenagers. Height to weight charts for girls and boys represent only a rough average and should be used in conjunction with a BMI calculator for kids.
2 - Young children and teenagers often have growth spurts during their growing years. During puberty your body will grow faster than at any other time in your life. On average, girls commence puberty around ages 10 to 11 and end puberty around 15 to 17 years old; boys start puberty around age 11 to 12 and end around 16 to 17 years of age (Wikipedia). During this period it is quite possible to gain and lose weight rapidly, as well as add inches to their heights seemingly overnight. This is particularly so in many adolescent girls who often experience dramatic changes in weight, bone composition, height, and body fat distribution - especially through their pubescent years.
3 - Every baby, child, and teenager is different in the way they mature and grow during their teen years. Dieting for teens is not recommended as quite often you will find they will simply "grow out" of their "baby fat" as they mature into young adults. Your pediatrician or family physician is really the best person to consult if you are worried about your childs height to weight ratio as a doctor can use a medical growth chart to keep track of your progress as you mature.
