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.

An acre is 43560 square feet. This is a square parcel of land 208.71 feet on each side. A standard city block measurement was established at 6 city blocks = 1 kilometer.

This would be one half city block wide and one half city block long to approximately equal 209 feet wide and 209 feet long. This is approximate.
How long is one city block in meters?
There is no given measure of meters in a city block. The size of a city block has not been standardized by the likes of the ISO organization.

Since there is no standard definition, using a tool like Google Maps to roughly gauge the average length of blocks in a major city of interest may provide you with the information you are interested in.
