There are very few direct comparisons. Except Aragorn being the tallest in the Fellowship. Glorfindel and Elrond both being taller than Gandalf.

If Galadriel was man high for the Noldor at 6'4, then this would explain why she was the tallest of the Noldor women. Their average height probably being around 5'10 to 6'0. The Teleri as indicated by Legolas were probably slightly shorter than the average height of the Noldor. Maybe the average height for the Teleri was around 6'0 and thus Celeborn at 6'4 would be tall for a Teleri and the same height as Galadriel.

When the Exiles dwindled the Rangers were probably around the same height as the average Noldor. In Numenor they had been slightly taller maybe around 6'6 or so.
