I was actually told by a teacher once hat the average IQ in the US was 90 or thereabouts.
"So the average person is below average?" I asked, not at all innocently.
"Yes," she said, in all seriousness.
This from someone who made fun of me in class for reading SF.

I'd agree in the case of Steve, who's quite well-built and athletic. Angus strikes me as pretty average, though I'd always imagined him to carry a little pudge on his tummy.

I'd have wondered if this bright teacher would consider herself to be in the average category. Heaven forbid this was a maths class.
I read SF&F all the time in secondary school, and in class too! Always had to sneak it under the table. The one time I got caught was with a math teacher, reading a paragraph on physics and quantum leaps. She got quite into it, nodding all the while in agreement and handed it back to me happily. Wonderful woman.
Redball:
This report http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/ad/ad347.pdf points out that mean weight for both U.S. men and women increased about 24 pounds from 1960-2000, and mean height for both increased an inch.

Looking at Sven compared to Dora, there's no way he's only 4" taller than she is; I'd put him at 6", at the very least.
Carl-E:
Please remember the density of muscle. Steve, who appears to exercise and stay fit post DoKYA, may well be a fit 180-190 for a near six footer. Sven, taller (6'4"?) is probably muscularly unerdeveloped (he's a musician, after all...), so he may well be a few pounds lighter, despite being taller (170 or so?). Marten could easily be under 150, dude's a bag of bones. And Hanners, despite her height, is very slightly built, and through her OCD is probably malnourished, so a lower weight (110 - 120) is pretty likely despite her height. Dora, of similar height, is probably heavier (130?) just from muscularity (I like the "lithe" description, it fits). Faye is shorter, but voluptuousness requires more body fat, and that requires more leg muscle to get you around (not to mention killer glutes...), so she's probably a bit heavier than Dora.
Pintsize weighs in at about 15 - 20 lbs (or the duct tape wouldn't work), and Winslow's a slim 6 lbs. Momo's new chassis is probably about 80 lbs, comparable to Sam.
Marigold? Shorter, but probably a bit heavier than, Faye.
Elliott's 240. That man's a brick wall. Just... big. All over.
