What fits
- Delhi is 89% of the size of Guadeloupe.
- Guadeloupe is larger by 175 km² (67.5 mi²), which is 12% of the area of Delhi.
- Measured in Belgiums: Guadeloupe is about 0.05, Delhi about 0.05.
How they differ
- Guadeloupe is larger, but Delhi has the larger population: 16.8 million against 384,000, 43.8× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 11,325 in Delhi against 231 in Guadeloupe: Delhi is 48.9× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,300 km apart.
- On a standard web map Delhi looks larger than Guadeloupe: Guadeloupe at 16°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Delhi at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Delhi as 1.07× the size of Guadeloupe, when Guadeloupe is 1.12× the size of Delhi.
- Together Guadeloupe and Delhi cover 3,140 km², close to the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km², 5.7% bigger).
- The gap between them, 175 km², is about the size of Aruba (170 km²).
- At Delhi's density, Guadeloupe would have 18.8 million people (it has 384,000). At Guadeloupe's density, Delhi would have 343,000 (it has 16.8 million).
- Delhi's centre is 12.5° of latitude, about 1,380 km, farther north than Guadeloupe's.
- Guadeloupe is the 16th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Delhi is the 32nd largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers less than 0.1% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Delhi lies about 12° of latitude (roughly 1,380 km) north of Guadeloupe.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Guadeloupe would have about 4,320 m² and each person in Delhi about 90 m².
- Laid side by side, Guadeloupe and Delhi would cover 3,140 km², 1.13× the size of Samoa.
- Together they have 17.2 million people, about as many people as Guatemala.
- Guadeloupe is drawn from 94 points and Delhi is drawn from 40 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, 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.
