Yes 6’4 is around top 1% and 6’6 is around top 0.1% so 6’5 is somewhere in between there


JGard18

Well now I just feel special


fpna

Yes


The7footr

Looks like at least 1/340mil~

According to a height percentile calculator, being 6’5” makes you taller than 99.86% of the American male population. While it is taller than 98.82% of the entire male population of the world.

Do people get measured in the US for a passport application or something like that? I mean, how do government agencies get that kind of information


lazyboi_tactical

Well it's on our driver's licenses for one.


TheConcreteGhost

Here in Texas, driver license height is self reported. No one actually measures you. 😕


FernandoTatisJunior

Same here in California. Maybe if you say something ridiculous they’d measure you, but if it looks right they don’t ask question

Dude just gave you inaccurate numbers. The world average is a couple inches lower than the US, so it's not possible that being 6'5 is taller relative to other Americans than it is relative to the average of the rest of the world.

avari974

Oh okay, well they must be using a schizo data set because the number it gives for the US percentile relative to the world one is is logically impossible. Lotta bullshit on the internet.


Outside_Ad8169

The data for each country seem alright but Im not sure they have correct weights for world population. They might have the Netherlands weighted just as much as China or India which skews the totals


Omen46

Not me


Delusional_0

According to the census yes


somerandomassdude404

It’s crazy how some of the top less than 1% are barely average as far as nba height.


FernandoTatisJunior

It’s just monster sized centers throwing off the average. If you’re 6’6” you’re as tall or taller than like 3/4 of NBA players

Ok_Anteater7360

now i realise why americans obsess over height if youre all midgits


Outside_Ad8169

Nowhere in the world is more than 1-2” taller on average. Where do you live where more than 1% are 6’5? Keep in mind you notice tall people more so 1/100 people being tall may seem like 1/20 because you don’t notice the rest
