This scatter plot shows the relationship between New York City’s water consumption and its population over time, using data from the NYC Open Data portal. Each point pairs annual consumption with population figures, plotted on linear scales with labeled axes. The visualization uses D3’s `scaleLinear` for positioning, `axisLeft` for the y-axis, and SVG circles with adjustable radius and opacity. A gray inner rectangle frames the plotting area, while the chart resizes responsively via `observeResize`, and axes and labels come from shared helper functions.
