The tallest building in every state isn't always a skyscraper.
- The tallest building in every state ranges from an 11-story apartment building in Vermont to a 1,776-foot tower in New York.
- As a whole, the US has more tall buildings than any other country in the world.
- Those buildings are unevenly distributed through the country, with many concentrated in major cities.
The United States has more tall buildings than any other country in the world - more than 2,600 of them taller than 100 meters, to be exact.

States are listed from shortest to tallest building, using statistics from real estate company HighRises.com and the Skyscraper Center database.
