6. Alaska – 5’10.7″
Remote, wild, and breathtaking—Alaska’s population mirrors its environment. With an average height of 5 feet 10.7 inches, Alaskan men are among the tallest in the U.S. The state’s population includes a mix of Indigenous peoples and settlers with Scandinavian and Russian roots. Active lifestyles, clean air, and high-protein diets help children grow up strong and tall, even in challenging weather. Many Alaskans live off the land or engage in labor-intensive jobs that demand strength and stamina, which can influence physical development from a young age. In Alaska, the climate may be cold, but the height charts are hot.
