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

Australia’s GDP per person is the higher of the two: Australia 60,194 and Indonesia 15,091 international dollars at purchasing power parity (World Bank Group, 2025).

Indonesia has 11 times as many people, and Australia 4.1 times the land area.

Measured as places in each statistic’s own field, the two are furthest apart on livestock production index (87.48 and 189.99, FAO 2022), gender Social Norms Index (34.83 and 99.65, UNDP Human Development Report Office 2022) and child overweight (26.43 and 2.603, UNICEF, WHO and World Bank Group (Joint Malnutrition Estimates) 2024). They are closest on labour income share (58.32 and 58.2, ILO 2025), fruit supply per person (86.08 and 85.38, FAO 2023) and confidence that vaccines are safe (83.33 and 83.51, Wellcome Trust 2018).

For 44 of the 331 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.
