There are actually two states with areas below sea level - California and Louisiana.
Colorado has the second highest average elevation in the United States, with a mean elevation of 6,800 feet above sea level. This is second only to Wyoming, which has the highest mean elevation at 6,700 feet.
It is generally assumed that Antarctica has no surface locations below sea level. This is because any area that is below sea level has been filled in and covered by ice. However, there is a coastal area of the rocky Vestfold Hills in coastal Antarctica which has valleys below sea level, as low as -50 meters (150 feet). (These mountains are south of the Indian Ocean, due south of westernmost India.)
The world's flattest country is Maldives, with an average elevation of only 1.5 meters above sea level.
There are many places world-wide that have land that is below sea level. I personally know of only two at the moment. The Netherlands (formerly called Holland) Southern Louisiana
Antarctica is the only continent that does not have any land areas below sea level.
The height above or below sea level is "elevation". Altitude is used only for distance above sea level.
Colorado has the second highest average elevation in the United States, with a mean elevation of 6,800 feet above sea level. This is second only to Wyoming, which has the highest mean elevation at 6,700 feet.
The state with a desert that has the lowest elevation in North America is California. The area is Death Valley and the desert is the Mojave Desert. The basin of Death Valley is 282 feet below sea level.
The lowest point of elevation in Oklahoma is located along the Little River near its confluence with the Red River in the southeastern part of the state, which is approximately 289 feet (88 meters) above sea level.
The state with the lowest elevation is California. Badwater, a basin located in Death Valley, is the specific location (36° 15' N 116° 49.5' W) of the lowest elevation in North America at 282 feet (86.0 m) below sea level. This point is only 84.6 miles (136.2 km) ESE of Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m).

It is an average of 1,700 feet ranging from sea level to Guadlupe Peak with an elevation of 8,751 feet above sea level.
Denver, since it's elevation is 5,280 feet above sea level and Philadelphia is only 39 feet above sea level
The world's flattest country is Maldives, with an average elevation of only 1.5 meters above sea level.
Mayors are only at city-level, not state-level.

I thin it is by 1,000 ft cause not only the dead sea is one of the saltiest seas in the world but it is also one of the deepiest
