How accurate is the steps-to-miles conversion?

The 76 cm / 2.5 ft default stride length is the figure most commonly cited by the CDC, Mayo Clinic, and Harvard Health for an average-height adult. Real stride lengths range from about 60 cm (petite walkers) to 86 cm (tall walkers), so individual mileage can vary by ±10–15%.

For the most accurate number, install Steps on your iPhone or Apple Watch — it measures your actual step length from your workouts over time.
