How is Cottage Grove numerically designated?

  1. 600 E

  2. 800 E

  3. 1200 E

  4. 2400 E

The correct answer is: 800 E

Cottage Grove is numerically designated as 800 E. In the system of addressing in Chicago, streets are designated with numeric values indicating their distance in blocks from State Street, which is the baseline for East-West addresses. Each block generally represents 100 numbers. Cottage Grove Avenue is located at the 800 E mark, meaning it is 8 blocks east of State Street. In this system, the designation helps residents and visitors understand the location and distance between various streets in relation to the central point of State Street, facilitating easier navigation throughout the city. The other options represent streets that are at different points in the numbering system; for instance, 600 E and 1200 E are respectively 6 and 12 blocks east of State Street, whereas 2400 E indicates a street that is positioned farther east compared to Cottage Grove.
