804 Steps to Miles
Put 804 steps on a tracker and the readout comes to about 0.40 miles. A useful way to picture it: walking every aisle of a typical grocery store. The average American, per NHANES data, logs 8,818 steps a day. This step count is less than that, at about 9%.

804 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 804 steps covers a different distance depending on how tall the walker is.
| Height | Distance |
|---|---|
| Short (~5'2") | 0.33 mi |
| Average (~5'7") | 0.35 mi |
| Tall (~6'2") | 0.39 mi |

Did You Know?
Even with all that scheduled treadmill time, astronauts still lose bone density in space. The impact forces from walking in microgravity are measurably lower than walking on Earth, which seems to be part of why exercise alone doesn't fully offset the loss.
One of the earliest known odometers, described by the Roman architect Vitruvius, was a gear-driven device mounted on a chariot wheel that dropped a pebble into a box every time it completed one mile, a mechanical ancestor of the step counter on your phone.
