Is it safe to say on avg the difference in distance is about 5 yards for each degree of loft in a golf club?

Question

Why would you agree only if we are talking about irons? why would the distance be different than 5 yards for say a 19 degree 5 wood versus an 18 degree hybrid?

Answer 1

Yes, or pretty close to that. Edit we are  talking irons. Edit ....because drivers can have lofts of 10 degrees, so it wouldn't make sense including them.
