Yeah, keep in mind that that’s across the whole city. Some neighborhoods may be much higher. My city is similar in the low 20’s but my specific neighborhood is more like 40. It can also feel a lot higher because public spaces tend to be more shaded–much of the uncanopied area can be back yards or building roofs.
