There isn't really going to be an answer because it's not really just by height. Everyone's body is different, you may have some more of your height in your legs or your torso, etc.

If possible, I would budget into your new bike a good fitting (not sizing). Most bike shops will give you a nice deal on the fitting if you buy the bike from them. Sizing is not the same as fitting. You're asking about sizing but fitting is what's going to keep you comfortable and injury free
