Precisely, (in inches) how high is one's rear end above the pavement?

I am going to guess it all depends on the person's height and body build...

I have about 9 inches at the very back but you lose a couple the closer to the wheels you get. You may have about 6 max if you're looking at backing over a parking curb...
