Getting .outerheight() of div with no set css returns wrong number

I am trying to get the height of a div that has no set height in css. When I hover over it with inspect element it says it is 92px high, however when I do the following in Javascript:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {    
    var heightSomething= jQuery('#something').outerHeight();
    console.log(heightSomething);
});

I always get "24". If I set a height in css to #something, then the console does log the correct height. Is there some sort of limitation to finding heights of divs with no set height? Thanks guys.

Maybe try using load handler instead: { if there are some images/ajax }

jQuery(window).load(function() {    
    var heightSomething= jQuery('#something').outerHeight();
    console.log(heightSomething);
});
