Yesterday I did a poll of the men on Daily Kos to find out height statistics:

Of course polls in Daily Kos diaries are not scientific, and the self-reported nature of the poll also makes them prone to measurement error. Nonetheless, the results seem fairly accurate, perhaps a little on the tall side, but Daily Kos attracts a younger and richer demographic than average so this is to be expected. See results below:
6’5" or taller 97%ile (VERY TALL)
6’4" 95%ile
6’3" 89%ile (TALL)
6’2" 77%ile
6’1" 72%ile
6’0" 57%ile
5’11" 44%ile (AVERAGE)
5’10" 27%ile
5’9" 19%ile (SHORT)
5’8" 9%ile
5’7" 6%ile
5’6" 2%ile (VERY SHORT)
5’5" 2%ile
5’4" 0 %ile
All %iles are rounded to the nearesr whole number. %ile means the % of men who are shorter than a given height.
Now I wish to get statistics on the women of Daily Kos, so ladies, please take my poll.
