City blocks may not be equally spaced.
City blocks may not be on a level landscape (a plane)
City blocks may not be defined by roads that are EXACTLY parallel.
Probably not explicitly. But implicitly a lawyer may refer to something like 3 blocks North and one block East which is using coordinates as defined by city streets.
In giving directions in city blocks.
Different cities have blocks of different size.
It would depend on the city and on which part of the city. Different cities are laid out into blocks in different way. Some older cities even have different layouts in different parts of the city as the city grew and annexed other cities. Typically there are 6, 8, or 10 blocks to a mile, but there are other variations. 6 x .18 = 1.08 blocks 8 x .18 = 1.44 blocks 10 x .18 = 1.80 blocks
There is no uniform length for city blocks. The length of a block is different in every city. Often the length of a block differs within the same city.
4 city blocks
Different cities have different size blocks. There is no requirement for a city block to be a certain size. I picked two city blocks at random in New York City and they measured differently. One was 800 X 200 feet and the other was 900 X 220 feet. There is no set pattern.
The size of a block is different in every city. Please ask another question and specify a city.
City blocks are different sizes in almost every city. You MUST specify which city.For instance the city block size of Salt Lake, Utah will easily cover 12 city blocks of Carson City Nevada.
Each city may have a different number of blocks in a mile, as they independently determine the size of their city blocks. There is no universal or standard size for city blocks. To determine how many blocks are equal to one mile, you first need to find the size of the blocks in the city you are asking about, and do the math.5,280 feet equals one mile. To find out how many city blocks would equal a mile, divide 5,280 feet by the number of feet in a block in the city in question.For example, the blocks in Tucson, Arizona are 400 feet long. Diving 5,280 by 400 means that 13.2 blocks would equal 1 mile.Another example, there are long blocks from east to west and short blocks from north to south in Manhattan. There are 20 short blocks in one mile.Depending upon where you are, there are approximately 20 city blocks to one mile.

The trouble is, it's not. Farmland is measured in acres or hectares, not in blocks as in city blocks.
