How many blocks equal a mile in Salt Lake City?

Answer 1

It's slightly more than 7 blocks but less than 8. It's conceivable that it's exactly 8 blocks from corner to corner excluding crossing intersections. The question is assuming that every block within the city limits is exactly the same size. While there might be a rough rule of thumb that applies many exceptions are likely and it will vary over time as roads are changed and other boundaries are redrawn.
