I lived in a part of Michigan that had a large Dutch population including those in our circuit. Most of the brothers averaged I would guess 6'4" and the sisters around 5'10 or so.

Wow…I wonder if they were more lanky, or if they had some meat on their bones 😆

It was Western Michigan and a town nearby was named Holland. They tended to be average built. Back to Holland, there is a cool attraction there that I would take out of town guest to experience it. https://www.dutchvillage.com/

Honestly, I don’t know. I am a shorter Dutchman, about 182 cm’s (around 6 foot), but when I go on vacation I can really tell how short other peoples are. Especially Americans and Asians. In the Netherlands however I am a shorter guy, even some woman are taller than me. Due to immigration from Morocco and Syria right now our height is actually decreasing.

Looks like genes play a huge role

I always found with my wife if she wears three-quarters she looks a little taller
