Michigan is 4.75× the size of Uttarakhand
Michigan (state of the United States) covers about 250,000 km² (96,500 mi²) and Uttarakhand (state of India) about 52,600 km² (20,300 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Uttarakhand: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with Nepal. Size Versus draws Natural Earth's de facto outline, the boundary as it is held on the ground, and takes no position on it.
What fits
- Uttarakhand fits inside Michigan about 4.75 times by area.
- Michigan is larger by 197,000 km² (76,200 mi²), which is 375% of the area of Uttarakhand.
- Measured in Belgiums: Michigan is about 8.15, Uttarakhand about 1.72.
How they differ
- Michigan is larger, but Uttarakhand has the larger population: 10.1 million against 10.1 million, 1.00× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 192 in Uttarakhand against 40 in Michigan: Uttarakhand is 4.75× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 11,500 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Michigan at 45°N is drawn about 2.0× too large and Uttarakhand at 30°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Michigan as 7.06× the size of Uttarakhand instead of 4.75×.
- Together Michigan and Uttarakhand cover 303,000 km², close to the size of Italy (301,000 km², 0.5% smaller).
- The gap between them, 197,000 km², is about the size of Senegal (196,000 km²).
- At Uttarakhand's density, Michigan would have 47.9 million people (it has 10.1 million). At Michigan's density, Uttarakhand would have 2.1 million (it has 10.1 million).
- Michigan's centre is 14.7° of latitude, about 1,630 km, farther north than Uttarakhand's.
- Michigan is the 11th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 2.6% of its area; it is the 25th most densely populated of them.
- Uttarakhand is the 19th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 1.7% of its area; it is the 27th most densely populated of them.
- Michigan lies about 15° of latitude (roughly 1,630 km) north of Uttarakhand.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Michigan would have about 24,810 m² and each person in Uttarakhand about 5,220 m².
- Laid side by side, Michigan and Uttarakhand would cover 303,000 km², about the same size as Italy.
- Together they have 20.2 million people, about as many people as Kazakhstan.

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.
