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
Kenya’s GDP per person is the higher of the two: Kenya 5,995 and Uganda 2,980 international dollars at purchasing power parity (World Bank Group, 2025).
Kenya has 1.1 times as many people, and 2.9 times the land area.
Measured as places in each statistic’s own field, the two are furthest apart on forest area change (1.47 and -1.12, FAO 2025), academic freedom (0.864 and 0.196, V-Dem Institute, University of Gothenburg 2025) and internet disruptions for firms (59 and 18.3, World Bank Group 2025). They are closest on firms making informal payments (39.46 and 40.29, World Bank Group 2025), unable to afford a healthy diet (76.3 and 73.6, FAO 2025) and gender Inequality Index (0.526 and 0.524, UNDP Human Development Report Office 2023).
For 36 of the 352 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.

08Method
Sources and how to read them
Every value is the newest reading the publisher issued, exactly as each country’s profile prints it: Kenya and Uganda. 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.
