New Brunswick is 1.13× the size of Ladakh
New Brunswick (province of Canada) covers about 72,800 km² (28,100 mi²) and Ladakh (union territory of India) about 64,300 km² (24,800 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Ladakh: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with China and Pakistan. 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
- Ladakh is 88% of the size of New Brunswick.
- New Brunswick is larger by 8,530 km² (3,290 mi²), which is 13% of the area of Ladakh.
- Measured in Belgiums: New Brunswick is about 2.37, Ladakh about 2.10.
How they differ
- New Brunswick also has the larger population: 776,000 against 274,000, 2.83× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 11 in New Brunswick against 4.3 in Ladakh: New Brunswick is 2.50× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 10,400 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: New Brunswick at 47°N is drawn about 2.1× too large and Ladakh at 34°N about 1.5×, so the map shows New Brunswick as 1.65× the size of Ladakh instead of 1.13×.
- Together New Brunswick and Ladakh cover 137,000 km², close to the size of Bangladesh (137,000 km², 0.1% smaller).
- The gap between them, 8,530 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).
- At Ladakh's density, New Brunswick would have 311,000 people (it has 776,000). At New Brunswick's density, Ladakh would have 685,000 (it has 274,000).
- New Brunswick's centre is 12.7° of latitude, about 1,420 km, farther north than Ladakh's.
- New Brunswick is the 11th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 0.7% of its area; it is the 4th most densely populated of them.
- Ladakh is the 17th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 2.0% of its area; it is the 36th most densely populated of them.
- New Brunswick lies about 13° of latitude (roughly 1,420 km) north of Ladakh.
- Shared out evenly, each person in New Brunswick would have about 93,840 m² and each person in Ladakh about 234,260 m².
- Laid side by side, New Brunswick and Ladakh would cover 137,000 km², about the same size as Bangladesh.
- Together they have 1.0 million people, 91% as many people as Djibouti.

- Wikidata's official figure of 72,900 km² agrees with our measured area of 72,800 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 64,300 km² is 8.5% above Wikidata's official figure of 59,200 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.
