A scatter plot visualizes U.S. state population against their population rank for 2024, where each dot represents a state and rank 1 is the most populous. The chart uses D3 v7 with SVG rendering, employing `d3.csv` to load data, `d3.scaleLinear` for both axes, and `d3.scaleSequential` with the Blue interpolator for color encoding. Hover tooltips via SVG `<title>` elements reveal state details. Data comes from `usa_states_population_2024.csv`.
