How they differ
- Aosta Valley is larger, but Guadeloupe has the larger population: 384,000 against 126,000, 3.05× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 231 in Guadeloupe against 38 in Aosta Valley: Guadeloupe is 6.09× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,100 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Aosta Valley at 46°N is drawn about 2.1× too large and Guadeloupe at 16°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Aosta Valley as 3.77× the size of Guadeloupe instead of 1.99×.
- Together Aosta Valley and Guadeloupe cover 4,960 km², close to the size of Trinidad and Tobago (5,120 km², 3.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,650 km², is about the size of Comoros (1,670 km²).
- At Guadeloupe's density, Aosta Valley would have 765,000 people (it has 126,000). At Aosta Valley's density, Guadeloupe would have 63,000 (it has 384,000).

- Guadeloupe is the 16th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Aosta Valley lies about 30° of latitude (roughly 3,280 km) north of Guadeloupe.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Aosta Valley would have about 26,290 m² and each person in Guadeloupe about 4,320 m².
- Laid side by side, Aosta Valley and Guadeloupe would cover 4,960 km², 97% of the size of Trinidad and Tobago.
- Together they have 509,000 people, 92% as many people as Cape Verde.
- Guadeloupe is drawn from 94 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- 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.
