How they differ
- Tianjin also has the larger population: 13.9 million against 1.0 million, 13.8× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 1,208 in Tianjin against 94 in Asturias: Tianjin is 12.8× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,210 km apart.
- On a standard web map Asturias looks larger than Tianjin: Tianjin at 39°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Asturias at 43°N about 1.9×, so the map shows Asturias as 1.05× the size of Tianjin, when Tianjin is 1.07× the size of Asturias.
- Together Tianjin and Asturias cover 22,200 km², close to the size of Israel (22,100 km², 0.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 798 km², is about the size of Dominica (730 km²).
- At Asturias's density, Tianjin would have 1.1 million people (it has 13.9 million). At Tianjin's density, Asturias would have 12.9 million (it has 1.0 million).
- Asturias's centre is 4.0° of latitude, about 450 km, farther north than Tianjin's.

- Asturias is the 10th largest of the 19 autonomous communities and cities of Spain and covers 2.1% of its area; it is the 12th most densely populated of them.
- Asturias lies about 4° of latitude (roughly 445 km) north of Tianjin.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Tianjin would have about 830 m² and each person in Asturias about 10,590 m².
- Laid side by side, Tianjin and Asturias would cover 22,200 km², about the same size as Belize.

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.
