This area chart depicts global population growth over time, with the y-axis labeled in billions and the x-axis representing years. The chart uses a filled, curved path to visualize the data, with maroon shading under the line to emphasize the trend. The visualization is built with D3.js v5, using `d3.area()` with `curveBasis` for the smooth area, `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` for the axes, and `d3.axisLeft` and `d3.axisBottom` for tick marks. Data is loaded from a CSV file hosted on VizHub, and the SVG rendering includes custom axis labels and a title.
