What fits
- Florida is 64% of the size of Victoria.

How they differ
- Victoria is larger, but Florida has the larger population: 21.5 million against 7.0 million, 3.07× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 147 in Florida against 31 in Victoria: Florida is 4.77× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 15,600 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Victoria at 37°S is drawn about 1.6× too large and Florida at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Victoria as 1.87× the size of Florida instead of 1.55×.
- Together Victoria and Florida cover 375,000 km², close to the size of Japan (374,000 km², 0.3% smaller).
- The gap between them, 81,200 km², is about the size of Czechia (78,800 km²).
- At Florida's density, Victoria would have 33.5 million people (it has 7.0 million). At Victoria's density, Florida would have 4.5 million (it has 21.5 million).
- Florida's centre is 65.5° of latitude, about 7,280 km, farther north than Victoria's.
- Victoria is the 6th largest of the 8 states and territories of Australia and covers 3.0% of its area; it is the 2nd most densely populated of them.
- Florida is the 25th largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 1.6% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Florida lies about 65° of latitude (roughly 7,280 km) north of Victoria, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Victoria would have about 32,510 m² and each person in Florida about 6,810 m².
- Laid side by side, Victoria and Florida would cover 375,000 km², about the same size as Japan.
- Together they have 28.5 million people, about as many people as Cameroon.

- Wikidata's official figure of 227,000 km² agrees with our measured area of 228,000 km², to within 2%.
- Our measured 147,000 km² is 14% below Wikidata's official figure of 170,000 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.
