Chicago's grid layout makes radius math unusually intuitive — every 1 mile is roughly 8 blocks. A 10-mile radius from the Loop reaches O'Hare suburbs to the north, Cicero to the west, and the South Side communities. Lake Michigan eats half of any radius drawn near downtown.
Chicago is laid out on a strict grid centered at State and Madison. Every 8 city blocks equals roughly 1 mile, so a 5-mile radius covers about 40 blocks in every direction.
