I guess different cities have different distributions of building heights, but living in NYC I feel like this is accurate living on any floor <10 and inaccurate on any floor >=10 (roughly). Even in the densest neighborhoods the fraction of tall skyscrapers is pretty low so if you're 10 stories up you'll usually be able to see pretty far even though you're still surrounded by much taller buildings.
