How they differ
- Kyoto also has the larger population: 2.6 million against 1.5 million, 1.76× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 556 in Kyoto against 426 in Goa: Kyoto is 1.30× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,450 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Kyoto at 35°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Goa at 15°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Kyoto as 1.88× the size of Goa instead of 1.35×.
- Together Kyoto and Goa cover 8,030 km², close to the size of Lebanon (10,000 km², 25% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,190 km², is about the size of São Tomé and Príncipe (1,040 km²).
- At Goa's density, Kyoto would have 2.0 million people (it has 2.6 million). At Kyoto's density, Goa would have 1.9 million (it has 1.5 million).
- Kyoto's centre is 19.9° of latitude, about 2,210 km, farther north than Goa's.

- Wikidata's official figure of 4,610 km² agrees with our measured area of 4,610 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 3,420 km² is 7.6% below Wikidata's official figure of 3,700 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.

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.
