How tall are we all?
The Dutch are known to be tall people, but how tall are they really when we compare them to some of the international groups in the Netherlands?
When looking up the number of internationals and their background online, most articles mention internationals from England, Germany, Poland and India. So let’s find out what the average height is for these countries as well as some others.
The Dutch being a tall group of people is definitely not a myth, their average height is
male: 180,8 cm female: 167,5
The average height in Poland isn’t that far off with these measurements

India is the first on the list to be a little on the shorter side, but keep in mind this is an overall average and the average heights throughout the country vary immensely per region
