Direct peers

• Département de l'Ariège: Smaller, more rural Occitanie neighbor with a comparable low-density, mountainous-and-piedmont profile. Functionally identical services (MDPH, social welfare, roads, college network) and similar demographic headwinds (aging, youth outmigration), making it a tight scale-and-rurality peer.
• Département du Gers: Small rural Occitanie department with an agricultural economy closely resembling Aude's, sharing identical competency architecture (college network, social services, road maintenance, MDPH, SDIS). Comparable exposure to rural depopulation and aging population.
• Département du Var: PACA department with comparable Mediterranean climate, wildfire exposure, and tourism economy. Operates the same departmental service portfolio (roads, MDPH, social welfare, colleges, archives), making it a strong analogue on climate-risk response and disaster-recovery execution.
• Département de la Drôme: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes department with a similar mix of urban poles, rural hinterland, and tourist economy. Same statutory mandate (MDPH, SDIS, college network, social welfare, road maintenance) and similar scale, making it a relevant cross-region functional peer.
• Département du Gard: Occitanie department anchored by Nîmes, sharing Aude's competency stack (college network, departmental roads, social and disability services, SDIS). Slightly larger population but materially identical mandate, making operational benchmarks directly translatable.
• Département du Tarn: Occitanie department with comparable population and the same statutory scope (MDPH, roads, colleges, archives, social action). Useful peer for benchmarking per-resident cost of services and social-welfare program design in similar demographic conditions.
• Département de la Haute-Garonne: Occitanie department around Toulouse. Same statutory mandate (roads, colleges, MDPH, archives) but with a larger tax base driven by metropolitan Toulouse, providing a useful upper-bound peer on per-capita service delivery and digital-service scale.
• Département des Bouches-du-Rhône: Large PACA department around Marseille with identical competencies but a much larger tax base and population. Useful peer for benchmarking what an Aude-scale digital and service model can look like once scaled, and for advanced programmatics on EU funds and climate adaptation.
• Département de l'Hérault: Neighboring Occitanie department with an identical legal mandate (social services, college network, road network, MDPH disability services, archives) but a larger and more urbanized territory (Montpellier). Directly comparable on scope of services, governance structure, and EU engagement, making it the closest functional twin to Aude.
• Département des Pyrénées-Orientales: Occitanie neighbor covering Perpignan, with the same departmental mission (MDPH, SDIS, college network, road maintenance, social welfare) and a similar Mediterranean-rural mix. Closely comparable in scale and demographic profile to Aude, including wildfire exposure along the coast.
