Cell Tower Heights Across the US


One of our clients contacted us to inquire about the average heights of cell towers. We did a quick analysis of the FCC tower data and came up with the following chart which shows the height of the cell tower (horizontal axis) vs the number of towers of that height (vertical axis). We thought we would share the chart as it presents an interesting visual on cell tower height.
Please note that this chart may not be indicative of the height distribution of all cell towers because the FCC did not always require registration of cell towers under 200'.

There is no such list available for purchase. I get this inquiry frequently and have researched it. The carriers maintain their cell site data internally and under a proprietary basis.
