- Per square kilometre that is 21 in Inner Mongolia against 6.6 in Pará: Inner Mongolia is 3.18× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 15,400 km apart.
- On a standard web map Inner Mongolia looks larger than Pará: Pará at 4°S is drawn about 1.0× too large and Inner Mongolia at 44°N about 1.9×, so the map shows Inner Mongolia as 1.79× the size of Pará, when Pará is 1.08× the size of Inner Mongolia.
- Together Pará and Inner Mongolia cover 2,375,000 km², close to the size of Democratic Republic of the Congo (2,325,000 km², 2.1% smaller).
- The gap between them, 86,200 km², is about the size of Azerbaijan (86,200 km²).
- At Inner Mongolia's density, Pará would have 25.9 million people (it has 8.1 million). At Pará's density, Inner Mongolia would have 7.6 million (it has 24.0 million).
- Inner Mongolia's centre is 48.1° of latitude, about 5,350 km, farther north than Pará'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.
