How they differ
- Luxembourg also has the larger population: 691,000 against 384,000, 1.80× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 265 in Luxembourg against 231 in Guadeloupe: Luxembourg is 1.14× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 7,040 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Luxembourg at 50°N is drawn about 2.4× too large and Guadeloupe at 16°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Luxembourg as 3.48× the size of Guadeloupe instead of 1.57×.
- Together Luxembourg and Guadeloupe cover 4,270 km², close to the size of Cape Verde (3,930 km², 7.9% smaller).
- The gap between them, 951 km², is about the size of Åland (942 km²).
- At Guadeloupe's density, Luxembourg would have 604,000 people (it has 691,000). At Luxembourg's density, Guadeloupe would have 439,000 (it has 384,000).
- Luxembourg's centre is 33.6° of latitude, about 3,730 km, farther north than Guadeloupe's.
- Luxembourg ranks 181st of 246 countries and territories by area.

- Luxembourg lies about 34° of latitude (roughly 3,730 km) north of Guadeloupe.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Luxembourg would have about 3,780 m² and each person in Guadeloupe about 4,320 m².
- Laid side by side, Luxembourg and Guadeloupe would cover 4,270 km², 1.09× the size of Cape Verde.
- Together they have 1.1 million people, 93% as many people as Djibouti.
- Guadeloupe is drawn from 94 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Guadeloupe would rank 183rd by area and 177th by population.

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.
