This area chart visualizes world population growth from 1950 to 2015, with the x-axis representing years and the y-axis showing population in billions. The chart uses D3 v5’s `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, `area`, and `curveBasis` to generate a smooth filled path. Data is loaded asynchronously from a CSV file using `d3.csv`, with axes rendered via `axisBottom` and `axisLeft`. SVG is the rendering approach, and the visualization includes custom tick formatting that converts values like "G" to "B".
