The newest published figure for each, as each country’s profile prints it. A multiple is given for the two sizes only.
01The answer first
In short
Algeria’s GDP per person is the higher of the two: Algeria 15,883 and Morocco 9,495 international dollars at purchasing power parity (World Bank Group, 2025).
Algeria has 1.2 times as many people, and 5.3 times the land area.
Measured as places in each statistic’s own field, the two are furthest apart on adults hit by natural disasters or severe weather (3.682 and 64.33, World Bank Group 2024), open Data Inventory (28 and 77, Open Data Watch 2024) and military role in government (0.5 and 0, V-Dem Institute, University of Gothenburg 2025). They are closest on gender Inequality Index (0.443 and 0.438, UNDP Human Development Report Office 2023), political corruption (0.662 and 0.671, V-Dem Institute, University of Gothenburg 2025) and egalitarian democracy (0.207 and 0.203, V-Dem Institute, University of Gothenburg 2025).
For 33 of the 306 shared statistics the newest readings describe different years. Those rows print both years and are left out of every comparison above.
Nothing here counts the statistics on which one country is placed higher than the other: such a count would weigh a minor survey question the same as life expectancy. The one overall answer this site gives is the Country Index 2026, below.

Algeria and Morocco: common questions

People: Algeria 46,164,219 and Morocco 37,712,505 in 2023, according to UN DESA Population Division. Algeria has 1.2 times as many. Land area, in square kilometres: Algeria 2,381,740 and Morocco 446,300 in 2024, according to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Algeria’s is 5.3 times as large.
Which has the higher GDP per person, Algeria or Morocco?
Algeria. GDP per person at purchasing power parity, in international dollars: Algeria 15,883 and Morocco 9,495 in 2025, according to World Bank Group.
Where are Algeria and Morocco placed in the Country Index 2026?
Algeria is placed 146th of 183, and Morocco is placed joint 113th of 183. The Country Index 2026 is this site’s own ordering of published statistics, subject by subject; it is not a rank any publisher printed.
Do Algeria and Morocco share a border?
Yes: the two share a land border, as the Natural Earth outlines draw it — borders as they are held on the ground. Both are in Northern Africa.
How many statistics compare Algeria and Morocco?
306 statistics from 60 publishers measure both. 25 more measure only Algeria, and 50 only Morocco; those are listed under each subject rather than left out.
Why do some rows give two different years?
For 33 of the 306 shared statistics the publisher compiles each country’s latest survey, so the two readings describe different years. Both years are printed, and those rows are left out of every comparison in the summary.
08Method
Sources and how to read them
Every value is the newest reading the publisher issued, exactly as each country’s profile prints it: Algeria and Morocco. A rank is a number the publisher printed; a position · derived is this site’s ordering of one published statistic; a standing is a place in the Country Index 2026.
Where a publisher compiles each country’s latest survey, the two readings can describe different years. Both years are then printed, and the row is left out of every comparison in the summary. How every number on the site is read is set out on the methodology page.
