The distance will depend on the size of the blocks and the curve of the road,but it is commonly accepted that 8 Chicago city blocks are about one mile according to the grid address system where 100 =1 block. Therefore, 8 blocks will be about 1 mile.
Example, Damen is 2000 w on the grid address system, California is 2800 w, 8 blocks to the west. With each 100 unit block being about 660ft, 8 would = about 5280ft or approximately 1 mile. I say approximately due to the differences in street widths between blocks.

How many square feet are there in one city block?
How many acres in One Chicago City Block ?It depends on the city. In New York City, the average length of a north-south block is 1/20th of a mile, or 264 feet. An east-west block is about 1/5th of a mile, or 1,056 feet.So, a square block would be 264 x 1056 = 278,784 square feet, which is equal to 6.4 acres.Chicago city blocks (if you count each block as 100 in the grid addressing system) are 1/8 mile long so a square mile is 8 blocks x 8 blocks. Since there are 64 square blocks in one square mile and 640 acres in one square mile, we know that Chicago city blocks (e.g. from Ashland to Paulina and Addison to Waveland) would be equal to exactly 10 acres per square block.
