Austria is 1.31× the size of Ladakh
Austria (Europe) covers about 84,000 km² (32,400 mi²) and Ladakh (union territory of India) about 64,300 km² (24,800 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Ladakh: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with China and Pakistan. Size Versus draws Natural Earth's de facto outline, the boundary as it is held on the ground, and takes no position on it.
What fits
- Ladakh is 77% of the size of Austria.
- Austria is larger by 19,700 km² (7,620 mi²), which is 31% of the area of Ladakh.
- Measured in Belgiums: Austria is about 2.74, Ladakh about 2.10.
How they differ
- Austria also has the larger population: 9.0 million against 274,000, 32.7× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 107 in Austria against 4.3 in Ladakh: Austria is 25.0× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 5,400 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Austria at 48°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Ladakh at 34°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Austria as 1.98× the size of Ladakh instead of 1.31×.
- Together Austria and Ladakh cover 148,000 km², close to the size of Nepal (147,000 km², 0.8% smaller).
- The gap between them, 19,700 km², is about the size of Slovenia (20,300 km²).
- At Ladakh's density, Austria would have 359,000 people (it has 9.0 million). At Austria's density, Ladakh would have 6.9 million (it has 274,000).
- Austria's centre is 13.7° of latitude, about 1,520 km, farther north than Ladakh's.
- Austria ranks 116th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Ladakh is the 17th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 2.0% of its area; it is the 36th most densely populated of them.
- Austria lies about 14° of latitude (roughly 1,520 km) north of Ladakh.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Austria would have about 9,350 m² and each person in Ladakh about 234,260 m².
- Laid side by side, Austria and Ladakh would cover 148,000 km², about the same size as Nepal.
- Together they have 9.3 million people, about as many people as Switzerland.
- Counted as a country, Ladakh would rank 126th by area and 182nd by population.

- Wikidata's official figure of 83,900 km² agrees with our measured area of 84,000 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 64,300 km² is 8.5% above Wikidata's official figure of 59,200 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, 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.
