- Their centres are about 14,400 km apart.
- On a standard web map Florida looks larger than Odisha: Odisha at 21°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Florida at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Florida as 1.08× the size of Odisha, when Odisha is 1.06× the size of Florida.
- Together Odisha and Florida cover 302,000 km², close to the size of Italy (301,000 km², 0.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 8,470 km², is about the size of Lebanon (10,000 km²).
- At Florida's density, Odisha would have 22.8 million people (it has 42.0 million). At Odisha's density, Florida would have 39.7 million (it has 21.5 million).
- Florida's centre is 8.1° of latitude, about 900 km, farther north than Odisha's.

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.
