Answer 1

The most recent official data available on height statistics for the
United States can be found at the website of the U.S. Department Of
Health And Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). This data is based on the CDC National Center for Health
Statistics, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).


U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Anthropometric Reference Data, United States, 1988-1994
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/nhanes/Anthropometric%20Measures.htm

Based on a review of this data, the following can be concluded:

Males in the United States, 20 years and over (all race/ethnicity
groups) that are 74 inches (6'2") are in the 95th percentile, which
means 5% of males 20 years and over are taller than 6'2".

Females in the United States, 20 years and over (all race/ethnicity
groups) that are 68.1 inches (5'8") are in the 95th percentile, which
means 5% of females 20 years and over are taller than 5'8".


Based on the NHANES data, for people between the ages of 15 and 19:


Males

15 85th 71.7 5'11.7"

Well, its not that tall. I'm 6'4" and recently ive noticed a lot of taller people recently. Though, technically, it is still above average of 5'10" for men.
