I'm in SoCal, I've never turned the heater on in my own home. When I lived with my parents, I plugged up the vent in my room during the winter. Hate the heat.
Depends how close to the windows I get, some of them are a little drafty. As for actual temperature, I have no control over the heat and no thermometer, but if I had to guess, probably 68-70F right now.
Thermostat is at 71 right now. It's comfortable. Pants and a tshirt are fine. My wife would like it a few degrees warmer but then a few rooms would be uncomfortably warm.
Basement, Man cave, usually in the 80s (I love my wood stove), living room, kitchen, dining room in the 70s, bedrooms 60s during the day, 57 at night with lots of blankets.

When we are home the thermostat is set for 60F, day or night, and augment with a ceramic heater in the family room. I drop it down to 52F when we are out.
It's in the low 30s outside tonight. When it gets down below 10F we put on extra layers. Sweaters are cheaper than turning the heater up.
60 American degrees during the day and at night when sleeping. Otherwise it's 65-68 depending on whether I get to the thermostat first, or the wife does. She'd prefer it to be 72, but I'm not paying that bill!
Edit: Summer in this house is great because we have East-West exposure and the South wall is covered by part of the garage, so we keep it at 74.
66-68. Comfortable enough if I'm either moving around or have a sweater on. My last apartment had a crappy heater despite being "fixed" by maintenance, got down below 55 at night sometimes there. Heating blanket made it tolerable, though.
I learned to appreciate the very warm summers, at least.
Jeez do some of you even need a refrigerator to keep your food cold? We keep it 70 to 72 when we depending on how it feels. 65 when we are gone or sleeping
