3. North Dakota – 5’11.2″
With a small but mighty population, North Dakota earns the third spot with an average male height of 5 feet 11.2 inches. Like many other top-ranking states, North Dakota has a strong Scandinavian and German heritage, groups that consistently rank among the tallest in the world. Life here is rural and physically active, from farming to snow sports. Boys often grow up outdoors, developing strong, healthy bodies. Good nutrition and reliable access to healthcare also play a significant role. In a state known for its big skies and open spaces, it’s no wonder the men here reach for the clouds.
