🌍 How Rare Are You in Morocco?
🇲🇦 Genetic Landscape of Morocco
Morocco's genetics tell the story of North Africa's layered history — indigenous Amazigh (Berber) foundations overlaid with Arab, Sub-Saharan African, and Mediterranean European influences. The Amazigh people, who comprise roughly 40% of Morocco's heritage, carry some of the oldest North African genetic lineages. Rif Berbers in the north show surprising rates of light features (blue/green eyes up to 15%), while southern Moroccans near the Sahara show more Sub-Saharan genetic influence.

📏 Height in Morocco: Men & Women
The average man in Morocco stands 172 cm (5'8") — right around the world average of 171 cm. The average woman measures 159 cm (5'3"), right around the world average of 159 cm for women. Height follows a bell curve, so every centimeter away from the mean makes you measurably rarer.
| ♂ Men in Morocco | Rarity |
|---|---|
| Average (172 cm / 5'8") | Top 50% |
| Tall (181+ cm / 5'11"+) | Top 10% |
| Very tall (186+ cm / 6'1"+) | Top 2% |
| ♀ Women in Morocco | Rarity |
|---|---|
| Average (159 cm / 5'3") | Top 50% |
| Tall (167+ cm / 5'6"+) | Top 10% |
| Very tall (172+ cm / 5'8"+) | Top 2% |
Estimates assume a normal distribution with a standard deviation of ~7 cm for men and ~6.5 cm for women, consistent with NCD-RisC population studies.
🧬 What Trait Combinations Look Like in Morocco
Rarity multiplies. Even common traits become uncommon once you stack them. Using the distributions above for Morocco's population of 38M:
Brown eyes + black hair + O+ blood = 65% × 55% × 35% ≈ 12.5% — ~4.8 million people in Morocco (about 1 in 8).
Gray eyes + brown hair + AB- blood ≈ 0.0040% — ~2,000 people in the whole country (about 1 in 25,000).
Add height, handedness (~10% of people are left-handed), and an MBTI type, and almost everyone lands below 1 in 10,000. That is the core idea behind the Avortas rarity calculator — try your own combination against Morocco and the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average height in Morocco?
Men in Morocco average about 172 cm (5'8") and women about 159 cm (5'3"). Anyone above 181 cm (men) or 167 cm (women) is in roughly the tallest 10% of the country.
How is rarity calculated in Morocco?
Each trait's local frequency is multiplied together. Because Morocco's distributions differ from world averages, the same person can score very differently here than globally.
Is my rarity in Morocco different from my global rarity?
Usually, yes. Traits that are rare worldwide can be common locally — and the reverse. Run the global calculator and compare it with the numbers on this page.
