Clarification of secure permissions and ownership

I recently moved from paid hosting to my own local server. I am not really satisfied with permissions guides online and i would greatly appreciate a little clarification.

How can i secure my wordpress installs?

Can you please make a simple list of the octal permission value and the file/ folder that needs such permission to ensure security and functionality?

Also what should my public html folder permissions be set to?

Thank you sincerely for your time, Louis

Here is a list of wordpress files to make it simpler.

### .htaccess
### xmlrpc.php
### wp-trackback.php
### wp-signup.php
### wp-settings.php
### wp-mail.php
### wp-login.php
### wp-load.php
### wp-link-opml.php
### /wp-includes
### wp-cron.php
### /wp-content
### wp-config.php
### wp-comments-post.php
### wp-blog-header.php
### /wp-admin
### wp-activate.php
### readme.html
### license.txt
### index.php
### favicon.ico

Thanks again!
