- Measured in Belgiums: Hawaii is about 0.55, Calabria about 0.49.
How they differ
- Hawaii is larger, but Calabria has the larger population: 1.9 million against 1.5 million, 1.34× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 129 in Calabria against 86 in Hawaii: Calabria is 1.49× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 13,400 km apart.
- On a standard web map Calabria looks larger than Hawaii: Hawaii at 20°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Calabria at 39°N about 1.7×, so the map shows Calabria as 1.31× the size of Hawaii, when Hawaii is 1.11× the size of Calabria.
- Together Hawaii and Calabria cover 32,000 km², close to the size of Guinea-Bissau (32,800 km², 2.7% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,730 km², is about the size of Comoros (1,670 km²).
- At Calabria's density, Hawaii would have 2.2 million people (it has 1.5 million). At Hawaii's density, Calabria would have 1.3 million (it has 1.9 million).
- Calabria's centre is 18.8° of latitude, about 2,090 km, farther north than Hawaii's.
- Hawaii is the 47th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 13th most densely populated of them.
- Calabria is the 10th largest of the 20 regions of Italy and covers 5.0% of its area; it is the 13th most densely populated of them.
- Calabria lies about 19° of latitude (roughly 2,090 km) north of Hawaii.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Hawaii would have about 11,580 m² and each person in Calabria about 7,770 m².
- Laid side by side, Hawaii and Calabria would cover 32,000 km², about the same size as Guinea-Bissau.
- Together they have 3.4 million people, about as many people as Mongolia.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain. The outline of Calabria is the provinces Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
- 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.
