In Minneapolis, a mile is typically equivalent to about 20 blocks. This is based on the city's grid layout, where each block generally measures 1/16th of a mile, making it easy to navigate. Therefore, walking or driving a mile would take you through approximately 20 city blocks.
There are about 10-12 city blocks per mile, so there are about .1 miles in a city block. Source: Hudson's Dictionary of Minneapolis (1906) states: In downtown, there are 13 ordinary blocks to the mile. South of 24th St the north-south blocks are longer, running 8 to the mile and east-west blocks are half as long, 16 to the mile. Review of neighborhood maps with a scale of 1.25 inches = 1000 feet confirms this measurement.
