According to this site -
http://www.halls.md/chart/women-height-w.htm -
"The average female American womens height is 163 to164 cm,
which is approximately 64.2 to 64.6 inches,
which is approximately 5 foot - 5 inches tall. (for white females*)."
Oddly they don't seem to make it easy to determine the overall average (including those pesky other races). Not sure why. Also, wouldn't 64.something inches be 5 foot 4 (and something)? I'm no math whiz, but something seems sketchy about those conversions.
