How far is 100 feet in city blocks?

It depends on the dimensions of the blocks. In many plats, a block is 1/10 mile, giving 528 feet per block. However, this is by no means a sure thing, and cities tend to lay their streets out in their own ways.


Why you call the D4 distance as a city block in digital image processing?

It's called city-block distance, because it is calculated as if on each pixel between your two coordinates stood a block (house) which you have to go around. That means, you can only go along the vertical or horizontal lines between the pixels but not diagonal. It's the same like the movement of the rook on a chess field.

How many linear feet in a city block?

generally 1/8 of a mile From AmericanCulturalAssumption: 16 American City Blocks would make one CountryMile. If they were in the country [meaning "countryside" or "rural areas"]. -- PhlIp-- How did you come to this conclusion? (Most?) American cities are laid out with 1/16 mile by 1/8 mile grids. (Metric equivalents: 100 meters by 200 meters.) Major streets are usually at 1/4, 1/2, or 1 mile intervals. (Metric equivalents: 400 meters, 800 meters, or 1.6 km) Some exceptions: Midtown Manhattan (in New York City) has a rough 1/20 mile by 1/10 mile grid, with some avenues being twice that length at 1/5 mile. Newer neighborhoods (often called "suburbs") usually have grids of major streets, but the minor streets are often mazes instead of grids. Streets in Salt Lake City are 7 to the mile, in both dimensions. An oddball number, but the consistency (plus the use of numbers for all addresses) makes calculating distances straightforward. A city block is the distance between consecutive streets, running east-west, or avenues, running north-south. The Manhattan grid has about 20 streets per mile but only a few avenues per mile making it convenient to describe "short blocks" or "long blocks" (for blocks facing avenues or streets respectively). Portland, Oregon was laid out with most streets and avenues in a 200 foot grid, making more corner lots so that developers received more profit as corner lots command a higher price. How exactly do you come to the conclusion that E-W is a 'street' and N-S is an 'avenue'? Last time I checked, 'street' is a road built up on either or both sides, and 'avenue' is a tree-lined road. [That's just the way numbered roads are laid out in Manhattan and some other places. It would surely be less confusing to use sets of numbers that don't conflict, particularly for visitors from places without that convention who don't suspect the vital significance in the "avenue" or "street" after the number, but that's how they named 'em.] There is no definition of how big it is. Each city block is just as big as it is. They aren't even all the same shape. A city block would typically be 1/16 to 1/8 of a mile, In many large eastern cities, a CityBlock is a standard 1/20 of a mile. That is, there is that much space between the centerlines of the streets in grid-platted parts of the city.
