This choropleth map displays the 2024 unemployment rate for each U.S. state, using a red color scale from 2% to 6%. Hovering over a state reveals its exact rate via a fixed tooltip. The visualization is built with D3 v7 and TopoJSON, using the `geoAlbersUsa` projection and `geoPath` to render state boundaries from the us-atlas TopoJSON file. The color mapping relies on D3's `scaleQuantize` and `schemeReds` palette, with an interactive legend generated from the scale's inverted extents.
