PolicyEngine UK Data

PolicyEngine's project to build accurate UK household survey data.

Local dataset builds

For a full local dataset build:

1. Ensure the private prerequisite folders exist under policyengine_uk_data/storage/.
2. Use Python 3.13. Python 3.14 currently fails while loading PyTables/Blosc2 in this repo.
3. Prefer the sibling policyengine-uk checkout when building locally, because the published wheel in your active environment may not expose all variables required by the data pipeline.

If ../policyengine-uk exists, you can run:

make data-local
