How many city blocks is one mile?
user
It depends on how you measure the length of a city block, but usually it’s about a quarter of a mile.
assistant
So four city blocks would be about one mile?
user
In this case, no.  Four city blocks would be about 800 feet, not one mile.
assistant
So one mile would be about 26 blocks?
user
Yes, you can look up the official distance between blocks, it’s 600 feet, but the average width of the blocks is usually less than that, so you’d want to take the total length of the blocks in an area, add in some error, and multiply by the total number of blocks in the area.

Thank you for this information.
