I'm 6'4" (193 cm) and I felt totally average walking around Amsterdam. As opposed to being a mutant freak in Tokyo.

In the US, it also depends on the area. At 6'4" you might be normal in Salt Lake City but a freak in Tampa. My wife is 6'2". In most places she is by far the tallest woman (and often person) in the room.

When we lived in Park City (Utah) she didn't seem as tall and often would not be the tallest woman there. It was fun to see.

Such techniques are often used to sell a conclusion with data that doesn't agree. Scaling, cropping, etc. Visuals are very powerful, and people will look at a graph and assume it's correct.
