Are West Coast people taller?

I’m (31M) a 6’0” Washingtonian and I have never considered myself exceptionally tall here. But now Im on a trip to New Jersey / New York City to visit friends and I swear I tower over most of the people here. I feel big for the first time in my life.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I looked it up and apparently males in Washington are .75” taller on average than those in New Jersey, but it feels like more.
