What fits
- Gujarat is 99% of the size of Hubei.
- Hubei is larger by 1,170 km² (452 mi²), which is 0.6% of the area of Gujarat.
- Measured in Belgiums: Hubei is about 6.05, Gujarat about 6.01.
How they differ
- Hubei is larger, but Gujarat has the larger population: 60.4 million against 57.8 million, 1.05× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 327 in Gujarat against 311 in Hubei: Gujarat is 1.05× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 4,120 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Hubei at 31°N is drawn about 1.4× too large and Gujarat at 23°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Hubei as 1.16× the size of Gujarat instead of 1.01×.
- Together Hubei and Gujarat cover 370,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 0.9% bigger).
- At Gujarat's density, Hubei would have 60.8 million people (it has 57.8 million). At Hubei's density, Gujarat would have 57.4 million (it has 60.4 million).
- Hubei's centre is 8.3° of latitude, about 920 km, farther north than Gujarat's.
- Hubei is the 14th largest of the 31 provinces and regions of China and covers 2.0% of its area; it is the 14th most densely populated of them.
- Gujarat is the 6th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 5.9% of its area; it is the 18th most densely populated of them.
- Hubei lies about 8° of latitude (roughly 919 km) north of Gujarat.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Hubei would have about 3,210 m² and each person in Gujarat about 3,050 m².
- Laid side by side, Hubei and Gujarat would cover 370,000 km², about the same size as Japan.
- Together they have 118.1 million people, 1.03× as many people as Egypt.

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.
