What fits
- Mexico City fits inside Austria about 61.1 times by area.
- Austria is larger by 82,600 km² (31,900 mi²), which is 6,008% of the area of Mexico City.

How they differ
- Austria also has the larger population: 9.0 million against 8.9 million, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 6,486 in Mexico City against 107 in Austria: Mexico City is 60.7× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 10,100 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Austria at 48°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Mexico City at 19°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Austria as 120× the size of Mexico City instead of 61.1×.
- Together Austria and Mexico City cover 85,400 km², close to the size of Azerbaijan (86,200 km², 1.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 82,600 km², is about the size of Azerbaijan (86,200 km²).
- At Mexico City's density, Austria would have 544.8 million people (it has 9.0 million). At Austria's density, Mexico City would have 147,000 (it has 8.9 million).
- Austria's centre is 28.3° of latitude, about 3,150 km, farther north than Mexico City's.

- Austria lies about 28° of latitude (roughly 3,150 km) north of Mexico City.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Austria would have about 9,350 m² and each person in Mexico City about 150 m².
- Laid side by side, Austria and Mexico City would cover 85,400 km², about the same size as Azerbaijan.
- Together they have 17.9 million people, about as many people as the Netherlands.
- Mexico City is drawn from 42 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Mexico City would rank 183rd by area and 100th by population.

- Wikidata's official figure of 83,900 km² agrees with our measured area of 84,000 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 1,380 km² is 7.4% below Wikidata's official figure of 1,490 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.
