Perplexity

Analyze Local Health Trends

You can get detailed weekly death records for England and Wales. The `get_weekly_deaths` tool lets you break down registrations by age, sex, and specific region. It's great for spotting regional spikes or demographic shifts in mortality rates without leaving your local machine.

Model Population Changes

Need to see how population numbers might change? Use `get_population_projections` to pull estimates for older people and sex ratios across local authorities. This helps model future demographic shifts. It’s a core tool for anyone doing long-term planning or policy impact analysis.

Gauge Public Mood

Check the state of public well-being with `get_wellbeing`. You can pull UK personal estimates covering life satisfaction, happiness, and anxiety. Remember, lower is better for anxiety. For even more granularity, `get_wellbeing_local` gives you these same metrics broken down by individual local authority.
