What percentage of Australian men are over 6'2?

The best estimate is that about 1% of Australian men are over 6'2" (188 cm) , assuming a roughly normal adult height distribution and using Australia’s average male height of 175.6 cm from the ABS.

How that estimate works

• 6'2" is 188 cm.
• The ABS figure gives an average male height of 175.6 cm.

• In many adult male populations, the share above 188 cm usually lands around the low single digits, and for Australia it is plausibly around 1% to 2% depending on the exact age mix and height spread.

Why it is only an estimate

• Australia’s ABS source here gives the average height, but not a direct count of men above 6'2".

• Self-reported height can also be a bit inflated, so exact percentages vary depending on the dataset used.

• A forum-style rule of thumb for Australia suggests around 32% of men are over 6'0", which is consistent with 6'2" being much rarer.

Practical takeaway

If you want a single number for a quick post, 1% is a reasonable headline estimate. If you want to stay a bit safer, write roughly 1–2%.

TL;DR

Australian men over 6'2" are uncommon — roughly 1% , give or take.
