What fits
- Florida fits inside Chile about 5.02 times by area.
- Chile is larger by 590,000 km² (228,000 mi²), which is 402% of the area of Florida.
- Measured in Belgiums: Chile is about 24.0, Florida about 4.78.
How they differ
- Chile is larger, but Florida has the larger population: 21.5 million against 19.5 million, 1.11× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 147 in Florida against 26 in Chile: Florida is 5.56× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,290 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Chile at 36°S is drawn about 1.5× too large and Florida at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Chile as 5.92× the size of Florida instead of 5.02×.
- Together Chile and Florida cover 883,000 km², close to the size of Pakistan (873,000 km², 1.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 590,000 km², is about the size of Morocco (592,000 km²).
- At Florida's density, Chile would have 108.1 million people (it has 19.5 million). At Chile's density, Florida would have 3.9 million (it has 21.5 million).
- Florida's centre is 64.7° of latitude, about 7,200 km, farther north than Chile's.
- Chile ranks 40th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Florida is the 25th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 1.6% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Florida lies about 65° of latitude (roughly 7,200 km) north of Chile, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Chile would have about 37,860 m² and each person in Florida about 6,810 m².
- Laid side by side, Chile and Florida would cover 883,000 km², about the same size as Pakistan.
- Together they have 41.0 million people, about as many people as Ukraine.
- Counted as a country, Florida would rank 94th by area and 60th 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.
