Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship

The altitude of the north - celestial pole above the horizon is equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere.

Step2: Identify the given latitude

The person lives at a latitude of $27^{\circ}$ in the Northern Hemisphere. So the altitude of the north - celestial pole $h = 27^{\circ}$.

Answer:

27
