Unit Definition (block [South, West U.S.])
The Block is an informal unit of distance popular in the U.S. A block is the average distance between street intersections in the rectangular street grids common in most American cities. The length of a block is about 1/10 mile (160 meters) in USA cities in the South and West.

Unit Definition (hectometer)
A hectometre (American spelling: hectometer, symbol: hm) is a measurement of distance equal to 100 metres. This measure is rarely used and is included mostly for completeness, since usage of the SI prefix hecto is no longer recommended.
