I'm looking for someone that had data to back this up, like Census. But i had a friend tell me the average hieghts were 5'8" for men and 5'4" for women. i remember it being a couple inches higher when i learned that in school many years ago and i doubt it has gone down.

Americans are growing up and out, according to a new report on changes in height and weight since 1960.
Both men and women in the United States are roughly an inch taller and 25 pounds heavier than they were in 1960, the study concludes.
The study was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
So how big are we? The following figures are for Americans age 20-74:
The average height for men increased from just over 5-foot-8 in 1960 to 5-9½ in 2002, while the average height for women increased from slightly over 5-3 in 1960 to 5-4 in 2002.

On average, men tend to be around 8'3"-9'6".
I've never met a woman, but I've heard they're about the size of a thimble.
