I live about 200 ft above sea level (both home and college)
Below 100 feet, but I regularly cross into the next category less than a mile away.
2800 ft
The first one doesn't make sense. How can you live below and above sea level?
But, anyway, I think Ellensburg is about at sea level.

below 100 ft in elevation. So if you live at 35 feet above or 20 feet below.

It's about 1500.
I'm at about 1000.
According to the engineering drawing for my street, the road centreline in front of my house is 314.3 m (1031 ft) elevation.
Funny enough, I was thinking about this on my Utah ski trip. The engineering plans out there (being in ft) would reach the 10 000's if your project was in the mountains (ex: a ski lift construction). Meanwhile all my projects are in the low 300's metres.
About 585 feet above sea level. About 8 feet higher than the elevation of both Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.
About 200 feet above sea level.
About 1700 feet above sea level.
Around 100 feet.
about 225 feet above sea level, according to Google Earth.
The elevation for Norman is listed at 1171 feet.
About 5,600 ft.
As silly a question it is, I had no idea I lived at 725 feet.
My home town is at 1,371 feet ASL, but I regularly drive down to an elevation of 633 feet just 8 miles away as the crow flies. Only sometimes do I notice my ears popping on the way home, but when I do, it's usually in the same location.
I believe that I am very slightly above 725 ASL.

If you are unsure, a gps app can give you the number.
191' at chest level for me
Per my GPS app, I'm at a nice 130 feet above sea level.
I'm originally from a place where any four-digit elevation in feet starting with a 4 was considered "low", so this is all still a bit foreign to me...
155'
I'm a 10-minute walk to the Puget Sound.
I'm already high enough as is (being in Colorado and such) but I am ~30 feet below 5K above sea level.
I'm around 100 feet, being separated from the nearest body of saltwater by some 600 foot hills.

Ellensburg is at over 1500 feet. The Columbia
Plateau is obviously not at sea level.
Based on topo maps and my guesstimate since development, I am sitting at between 695 and 700 feet ASL.
My grandparents' house was at exactly 1,000 feet, which I learned sadly long after they had passed.

Downhill both ways?
Here in KC, about 900 feet.
Mason City, IA is listed at 1,129 feet above sea level. It probably shouldn't be a surprise because Pilot Knob, about 20 miles away, is the third highest point in Iowa.
About 1600 feet, but when I return to Watauga County this year I will be at about 3550. The highest I have lived was ~4,100 in Summer 2021.
About 610 feet.
155 feet.

whatismyelevation.com actually says 5,663 ft. A little higher than I thought.
Surface level of Lake Monona is 845 ft (plus or minus two feet, depending on time of year and precipitation, usually). I'm probably 3 above that.

I'm surprised that, 4 miles north of Detroit, I'm about 80 feet higher than you.
In the mid 600's. And given how flat this area is, it doesn't change too much.
My municipality's elevation is considered to be 380 feet ASL, but my residence is at about 630 feet.
Just under 6500' ASL. The natural rim of Lake Tahoe is 6223'. Unfortunately I don't have any view due to surrounding buildings and trees, but there are people within a couple hundred yards with fantastic lake and mountain views (they had to pay for that when they bought their properties though; a view was way out of my price range).

You might be the "highest" member of the forum. Unless anyone lives higher than that.

The land my building sits on is about 860' above sea level. My condo is on the 12th floor, so that's another 100+ feet.
Pretty sure I’m in the ballpark of 50 to 100 feet depending on what part of my town you’re in. I don’t know the exact number.
Edit: it’s 75 feet.

Back home in Houston, I live only 30 feet above sea level. But at college in Tulsa, I live at around 700 ft (plus about 20-30 ft since I live on the third floor).

What a beautiful spot to live!
630 feet (NW Wayne County, MI)
I used to be able to put my iPhone on the floor of my living room, and say "Siri, how high am I?" The answer would be just a number, between 285 and 310 feet (I think the correct answer is 294). After awhile, the answer would be "it appears your elevation is" some number of feet. Now, the reply is "I" m not sure I understand."
GPS is much less accurate at vertical measurements than horizontal.
My elevation is "unfortunately" in meters :sombrero:. I live about 460 m above sea level. That would make it about 1500'.
I also find the cutoffs weird due to the usage of different units:
- below 30 meters
- 30-76
- 76-152
- 152-229
- 229-305
- 305-762
- 762-1524
- 1524-3048
- over 3048
850 ft amsl
I guess I'm the lowest so far - I'm at 20 feet above sea level.
I'm at 1181 ft in SW Wisconsin.

My ears have gotten really good at noticing elevation changes. Going up or down the ~50 ft hill (which to be fair is pretty steep) in/out of my neighborhood, I can usually feel a tickle in my ear.
And mine are the opposite. Driving up to the mountains or taking a flight, I don't notice a thing.
