What fits
- Tianjin fits inside Cuba about 9.58 times by area.
- Cuba is larger by 98,500 km² (38,000 mi²), which is 858% of the area of Tianjin.
- Measured in Belgiums: Cuba is about 3.58, Tianjin about 0.37.
How they differ
- Cuba is larger, but Tianjin has the larger population: 13.9 million against 11.0 million, 1.26× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 1,208 in Tianjin against 100 in Cuba: Tianjin is 12.1× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,000 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Cuba at 22°N is drawn about 1.2× too large and Tianjin at 39°N about 1.7×, so the map shows Cuba as 6.64× the size of Tianjin instead of 9.58×.
- Together Cuba and Tianjin cover 121,000 km², close to the size of North Korea (122,000 km², 0.8% bigger).
- The gap between them, 98,500 km², is about the size of South Korea (98,500 km²).
- At Tianjin's density, Cuba would have 132.8 million people (it has 11.0 million). At Cuba's density, Tianjin would have 1.1 million (it has 13.9 million).

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.
