It is low for a 20-21mm wide rim but normal for a 23mm tire on a 23mm wide rim. I'm probably not the best to describe it but imagine taking your rim with your tire and stretch it 2mm wider. This flattens out your tire which combined with Running a lower psi gives you a larger contact patch to the road.
