What fits
- Haiti is 95% of the size of Albania.
- Albania is larger by 1,440 km² (558 mi²), which is 5.4% of the area of Haiti.
- Measured in Belgiums: Albania is about 0.92, Haiti about 0.88.
How they differ
- Albania is larger, but Haiti has the larger population: 11.0 million against 2.8 million, 3.91× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 408 in Haiti against 99 in Albania: Haiti is 4.12× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 8,860 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Albania at 41°N is drawn about 1.8× too large and Haiti at 19°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Albania as 1.66× the size of Haiti instead of 1.05×.
- Together Albania and Haiti cover 55,200 km², close to the size of Croatia (55,000 km², 0.4% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,440 km², is about the size of Comoros (1,670 km²).
- At Haiti's density, Albania would have 11.6 million people (it has 2.8 million). At Albania's density, Haiti would have 2.7 million (it has 11.0 million).
- Albania's centre is 22.2° of latitude, about 2,470 km, farther north than Haiti's.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. Main territory: the largest landmass and every part within 1,000 km of it.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. Comparisons use main-territory area.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
