446 Steps to Miles
Covering 446 steps in a day means covering close to 0.22 miles of ground. If a landmark helps more than a number, that's about the length of a football field, end zone to end zone and back. NHANES accelerometer data puts the average American at 8,818 steps a day. This step count comes out to about 5% of that.

446 Steps to Miles, By Height
The 2,000-steps-per-mile figure above is a flat average. Stride length actually scales with height, so the same 446 steps covers a different distance depending on how tall the walker is.
| Height | Distance |
|---|---|
| Short (~5'2") | 0.18 mi |
| Average (~5'7") | 0.20 mi |
| Tall (~6'2") | 0.22 mi |

Did You Know?
Caribou make the longest annual land migration of any animal, with some herds covering close to 1,500 miles a year, almost entirely on foot.
A large 2017 smartphone study across 46 countries (published in Nature) found average daily step counts varying enormously by country, roughly 4,000 to nearly 6,900. The researchers found that inequality in step counts within a country predicted obesity rates better than the average did.
