This React starter example loads population data from a CSV file using the D3 `csv` function and parses the numeric population column. It sets up an SVG element by reading its width and height attributes with `select` and D3 selections, then logs the processed data to the console. The page includes a placeholder message and references a bundled React application, though no chart is rendered in the provided code. The example serves as a minimal template for integrating D3 data loading with a React build setup, using D3 v6 in a plain HTML file.
