what is the average height and weight of an american woman

The average height of an American woman is about 63.5 inches (5 feet 3.5 inches), and the average weight is about 171.8 pounds for women ages 20 and older in the U.S.

Quick Scoop

Those figures come from CDC/NCHS measured body data for U.S. adults, so they’re among the most reliable national averages available.

A small note: averages can vary by age group, region, and sample, so this is best read as a national snapshot rather than a single “typical” woman.

TL;DR: about 5'3.5" tall and 171.8 lb on average.
