Comparison between KIC "Extinction" distances and Hipparcos "Parallax" distances to stars in the Kepler field, having valid KIC stellar parameters and parallaxes accurate to 20% or better. Error bars correspond to ±1σ uncertainties on the parallaxes. Diagonal lines indicate equality and ±0.23 dex (factor of 1.7).
