- Hawaii
- Île-de-France
What fits
- Île-de-France is 72% of the size of Hawaii.
- Hawaii is larger by 4,740 km² (1,830 mi²), which is 39% of the area of Île-de-France.
- Measured in Belgiums: Hawaii is about 0.55, Île-de-France about 0.39.
How they differ
- Hawaii is larger, but Île-de-France has the larger population: 12.4 million against 1.5 million, 8.51× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 1,023 in Île-de-France against 86 in Hawaii: Île-de-France is 11.8× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 12,100 km apart.
- On a standard web map Île-de-France looks larger than Hawaii: Hawaii at 20°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Île-de-France at 49°N about 2.3×, so the map shows Île-de-France as 1.45× the size of Hawaii, when Hawaii is 1.39× the size of Île-de-France.
- Together Hawaii and Île-de-France cover 29,000 km², close to the size of Albania (28,300 km², 2.1% smaller).
- The gap between them, 4,740 km², is about the size of Trinidad and Tobago (5,120 km²).
- At Île-de-France's density, Hawaii would have 17.2 million people (it has 1.5 million). At Hawaii's density, Île-de-France would have 1.0 million (it has 12.4 million).
- Île-de-France's centre is 28.5° of latitude, about 3,160 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.
- Île-de-France is the 13th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 1.9% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Île-de-France lies about 28° of latitude (roughly 3,160 km) north of Hawaii.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Hawaii would have about 11,580 m² and each person in Île-de-France about 980 m².
- Laid side by side, Hawaii and Île-de-France would cover 29,000 km², about the same size as Albania.
- Together they have 13.8 million people, about as many people as Burundi.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain. The outline of Île-de-France is the departments 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.
