TWD New Frontier Heights

Hector- 6'0" (1.83 cm)
Gabriel- 5'3" (1.60 cm)
Mariana- 4'9" (1.44 cm)
Salvador- 5'8½" (1.74 cm)
Max - 5'5" (1.65 cm)
Lonnie - 5'9" (1.75 cm)
Badger - 5'11" (1.81 cm)
Rufus - 5'9¾" (1.78 cm)
Clementine - 5'1" (1.55 cm)
Tripp - 6'4½" (1.94 cm)
Conrad - 6'0" (1.82 cm)
Francine - 5'3" (1.60 cm)
Eli - 6'2" (1.88 cm)
Eleanor - 5'9" (1.76 cm)
Jesus - 6'3" (1.91 cm)

Ava - 5'2" (1.57 cm)
Joan - 5'2" (1.58 cm)
Clint - 6'2¾" (1.90 cm)
Dr. Lingard- 5'11" (1.80 cm)
Alvin Jr. - 2'9" (0.83 cm)
What character did I forget?
Comments
Not any major ones anyway. But if you wanna count em, there's Baseball Kid, Edith, Jane, Kenny, Roxanne, and the Specialist.
As for the heights themselves, some of them seem like they're inherently off in comparison. David Max, Dr. Lingard, and maybe Eli in particular stand out.
Mariana is 1.52
...
Damn, including Marinana?

Well, going off the assumption that Clem's about 5'1 at 13 years, which is accurate, based on some of my own calculations I did a while back, here's Javi next to Clementine:
Based on some math I did, Javi is roughly a little over 20 per cent taller than Clem is. Based on this, this makes Javi about 6'1.5", not 5'10."
Of course, the only definitive height that I think we truly have is Lee's, which is 6'2":
I'm working on some more of the characters' heights based on mathematical relative scaling, which I'll post the final result in a day or two and will attach a link to a gallery of the photos I used for my calculations.
...
Yeah, roughly 5'0 is short.
Well, as I've been going through all of these characters (still am) with mathematical relative scaling, almost all of them have been giants, lmao. Most of them are 6'0+, lol. Even the female ones are giant. I've found Kate to be 5'11 and Eleanor to be 5'10.5. Clem at 5'1 is tiny compared to these characters.
...
If I had to make my own [quick] assessment, I'd say the [comparative] heights are roughly about this:
Also, here's the old fake stats from a little after the premiere if you want them
Alright. So I went through all of the major and semi-major characters in ANF and applied the following procedures. I did all of the procedures in feet and inches, but provided some centimetre conversions, for non-Americans, rounded to the nearest cm:
Used the fact that Lee's height is definitely 6'2", as is confirmed in the first season of the series.
I captured a screenshot from Season 1 that compared Clementine's height to Lee's height. Based on that screenshot, I found Clementine's height to be about 70 per cent of Lee's height, which is about 4'4", for an 8-9 years old:
Using the height percentile calculator on Medscape for females aged 2-20 years, and using 9 years old as Clementine's reference age, Clem's height is roughly in the 43/44th percentile of all heights of 9 years old females.
Using the assumption that Clementine would follow a fairly normal growth pattern and she would be in the same height percentile relative to her group for her growth, which is a bit generous considering the prevalence of malnutrition, Clem would be about 5'1" for a 13 years old female in a similar percentile of heights.
Using the above fact, I took screenshots of the ANF characters when they were next to each other. I then calculated how many pixels tall each character was in the frame, and used that to determine what percentage of height one character is of another. I applied these comparisons for a number of combination of characters, first starting with Javier being roughly 20% taller than Clementine. This made Javier roughly 6'1.5." I then found another character standing next to Javier, calculated their relative height, and calculated relative heights until all of them had a height at least dependent on one other character. I was then able to determine the actual heights of all of the characters I picked, rounding to the nearest 0.5 in, which yielded the following results:
The Garcia Family
-David: 6'3.5" (192 cm)
-Gabriel: 5'3.5" (161 cm)
-Javier: 6'1.5" (187 cm)
-Kate: 5'11" (180 cm)
-Mariana: 5'2" (157 cm)
Prescott
-Conrad: 6'2.5" (189 cm)
-Eleanor: 5'10.5" (179 cm)
-Tripp: 6'4.5" (194 cm)
The New Frontier
-Ava: 5'3.5" (161 cm)
-Badger: 6'1" (185 cm)
-Clint: 5'10" (178 cm)
-Joan: 5'2" (157 cm)
-Lingard: 6'7.5" (202 cm)
-Lonnie: 6'1" (185 cm)
-Max: 6'1" (185 cm)
Misc
-Clementine: 5'1" (155 cm)
-Jesus: 6'3.5" (192 cm)
Here is a link to a zip file of all the images compressed that contains all of the screenshots I used in order to determine the relative heights of each of the characters, if you're interested in my source material. Some of these were clipped out of Youtube videos, to which I do not personally own and will not take credit for, but helped speed up the process:

It might say "problem with preview"; however you should be able to download it just fine if you're interested. The naming of the screenshots isn't logical or meaningful; just whatever I came up with during the process.
Nice.
4'3" to be exact. Lee's 6'2", which is equivalent to 74 inches. If she's 70% of his height, you'd have to multiply 0.70 by 74, which would make her 51.8 inches tall. Converted to feet, you'd divide 51.8 by 12 and get 4'3" as her height.
God damn, he might be the tallest character in the series
Someone really did their homework
@alekgn
Also, how was it that you're able to calculate length based on the number of pixels in a picture? There was this time I was trying to calculate out how long Impulse's feet are and what shoe size he wore since his feet are pretty big
and had to take this picture,
rotate his figure along with his head and neck so he stood up straight against the comic seal, and then line his foot up against the wall from the floor to his head, where it took 4 shoes to match height. His character is 5'7", so I did the math and got that his feet are 16.75 inches, where he would've wore a size 17 shoe. Idk if it would work in this case, but I'm guessing your way would've been much more faster than mine, so again, how do you do it?
Damn, the Walking Dead Game is full of fuckin skyscrapers if that's the case.
Really now?
Like, I know the one shot where they're standing near each other has them pretty close, but I assumed Joan would be a little taller.
