In macOS, what are the default numeric file permissions on a user home folder; /Users/username/?

EXPLANATION

By default, the permissions on a home folder are drwxr-xr-x or 755. This allows other users on the system access to the top level of the the home folder so that they can access the Public and Sites folders to read or send files to the owner. The main other folders (Desktop, Documents, etc) are locked to drwx------ so that only the owner has access.
