- Bhutan is larger, but Yucatán has the larger population: 2.3 million against 787,000, 2.95× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 60 in Yucatán against 19 in Bhutan: Yucatán is 3.10× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 14,700 km apart.
- Together Bhutan and Yucatán cover 78,800 km², close to the size of Czechia (78,800 km², 0.1% smaller).
- The gap between them, 2,040 km², is about the size of Mauritius (2,000 km²).
- At Yucatán's density, Bhutan would have 2.4 million people (it has 787,000). At Bhutan's density, Yucatán would have 748,000 (it has 2.3 million).
- Bhutan's centre is 6.6° of latitude, about 740 km, farther north than Yucatán's.

- Bhutan lies about 7° of latitude (roughly 738 km) north of Yucatán.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Bhutan would have about 51,330 m² and each person in Yucatán about 16,540 m².
- Laid side by side, Bhutan and Yucatán would cover 78,800 km², about the same size as Czechia.
- Together they have 3.1 million people, 1.06× as many people as Armenia.
- Counted as a country, Yucatán would rank 136th by area and 146th by population.

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.
