We study the resources needed to construct topological two-dimensional stabilizer codes as a way to estimate in part their efficiency, and this leads us to perform a comparative study of surface codes and color codes. This study clarifies the similarities and differences between these two types of stabilizer code. We compute the topological error-correcting rate C:=n/d{sup 2} for surface codes C{sub s} and color codes C{sub c} in several instances. On the torus, typical values are C{sub s}=2 and C{sub c}=3/2, but we find that the optimal values are C{sub s}=1 and C{sub c}=9/8. For planar codes, a typical value is C{sub s}=2, while we find that the optimal values are C{sub s}=1 and C{sub c}=3/4. In general, a color code encodes twice as many logical qubits as does a surface code.
