This area chart visualizes world population trends over time, using a smoothed curve to show the growth from 1950 to 2015. The y-axis is labeled with a custom formatting function that converts tick marks to billions. Built with D3 v6, the visualization employs `scaleTime` for the temporal x-axis, `scaleLinear` for the population y-axis, and the `area` generator with `curveBasis` to create the filled path. Data is loaded from a CSV file hosted on Vizhub, sourced from the UN World Population Prospects.
