12 blocks
There is a variance in US block measurements. 15 to 20 blocks per mile in different parts of the country, so..................... 11.82 miles (20 blocks/1 mile) = 236.4 blocks ------------------- 11.82 miles (15 blocks/1 mile) 177.3 blocks ---------------- so, you have that much variance to consider for your answer
In the greater Phoenix area there are typically 8 blocks in a mile.
12 blocks equal 1 mile
Usually, 8 blocks = 1 mile. Well, 8 regular blocks.
15 blocks = 1 mile 30 blocks = 2 miles

10 street blocks (east-west) are equal to 1 mile.
There are approximately 13 North/South blocks to a mile in OKC and approximately 9 East/West blocks to a mile in OKC. I measured it on Google Maps
In New York City, approximately 17 to 20 street blocks (north/south blocks) equals a mile, and about 5 to 10 avenue blocks (east/west blocks) equals a mile. The length of the avenue blocks varies considerably, depending on what neighborhood you're in.If we say that 17 street blocks is a mile, then 1 block equals approximately 0.06 miles. If we say that 20 street blocks is a mile, then 1 block equals 0.05 miles. So, 5 street blocks would equal 0.25 to 0.30 miles. So, approximately 5 street blocks equals 0.28 miles.If we say that 5 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 1 avenue block equal 0.2 miles. If we say that 10 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 1 avenue block equals 0.1 miles. If 5 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 1.5 avenue blocks equals 0.3 miles. If 10 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 3 avenue blocks equals 0.3 miles. So, approximately 1.5 to 3 avenue blocks equals 0.28 miles.
20 North/South blocks
In large cities the number varies depending upon the original grid layout. In NYC (Manhattan) the number of north-south blocks per mile is 20. East-west blocks (between avenues) are typically just under 5 north-south blocks in length, so the number of east-west blocks per mile is 4.
In Chicago, there are typically 8 blocks in a mile. The city is laid out in a grid pattern, with each block measuring approximately 1/8 of a mile. Therefore, to cover a mile, you would walk or drive through 8 blocks.
