Where 5 ft 1 in Falls in the US Height Distribution
A man who is 5 ft 1 in (155 cm) stands at the 0.4th percentile of US adult men. In practical terms, that means being taller than roughly 0.5 million US men, while about 125.9 million are taller.
The average US man measures 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) (median 5 ft 9 in (175 cm)), so 5 ft 1 in is 20 cm below average — placing it in the very short range. Percentiles are derived from CDC/NHANES measurement surveys of US adults aged 20 and older.
