What is acceleration due to gravity at your house?

At my house it’s 9.80424 m/s².  This question was inspired by Spunky’s reply to this question: https://answermug.com/forums/topic/139919/if-i-were-to-lock-you-in-the-dungeon-and-make-you-homework-chall  and Martina’s reply to this question: https://answermug.com/forums/topic/139911/you-hear-randy-d-has-hurt-himself-in-some-way-in-the-room-next-d/view/post_id/981238

    We use archaic units for acceleration due to gravity but not quite as archaic as 32 feet/s².  The values for the gravitational calibration points here are listed in milligals, which is still the metric system, but not in SI units.  I had to look up what mgal meant when I looked at the list of calibration points because I only learned SI units in school.
