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.

Do Australia and Indonesia share a border?
No: the two share no land border in the Natural Earth outlines.
How many statistics compare Australia and Indonesia?
331 statistics from 60 publishers measure both. 15 more measure only Australia, and 59 only Indonesia; those are listed under each subject rather than left out.
Why do some rows give two different years?
For 44 of the 331 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.

Sources and how to read them
Every value is the newest reading the publisher issued, exactly as each country’s profile prints it: Australia and Indonesia. 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.
