- Their centres are about 15,200 km apart.
- On a standard web map Tripura looks larger than Jamaica: Jamaica at 18°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Tripura at 24°N about 1.2×, so the map shows Tripura as 1.05× the size of Jamaica, when Jamaica is 1.03× the size of Tripura.
- Together Jamaica and Tripura cover 21,800 km², close to the size of Djibouti (21,800 km², 0.3% bigger).
- The gap between them, 288 km², is about the size of Saint Kitts and Nevis (264 km²).
- At Tripura's density, Jamaica would have 3.8 million people (it has 2.7 million). At Jamaica's density, Tripura would have 2.6 million (it has 3.7 million).

- Tripura lies about 6° of latitude (roughly 622 km) north of Jamaica.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Jamaica would have about 4,090 m² and each person in Tripura about 2,920 m².
- Laid side by side, Jamaica and Tripura would cover 21,800 km², about the same size as Djibouti.
- Together they have 6.4 million people, about as many people as Bulgaria.

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.
