The median waist size for American women aged 20 years and older is 37.3 inches (94.8 cm), while the average is 38 inches. Most popular retailers don’t produce jeans at either size. It’s 8 inches larger than the median waist size of jeans available at the Mall of America—30 inches. It is only one inch smaller than the median of the largest sizes carried by these brands.

i'm pretty sure that Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama drive the average size up considerably.

Why would malls stock 35 and over waist sizes? Those women are too big to walk around malls anyway

They should lose some weight then

If you've ever been out in public, none of this is really surprising.

Average =\= median

I guess. I feel like the malls cater to their clientele. Every time I'm back in louisiana there's an abundance of plus sizes around.

Holy Frick! 
If I ever got to a 38" waist, I'd want to kill myself as a male.

Median is one type of stastitical average. The “average” most people are familiar with is the mean.

I'm pretty sure people of this size gave up on the fork long ago. They shovel with their bare hands.
