This bar chart displays student statistics by area for the top 15 entries, using horizontal bars where area names appear on the y-axis and numeric stats on the x-axis. The visualization is built with React and D3 v5, using `d3.csv` to load remote data and `d3.scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis and `d3.scaleLinear` for the quantitative x-axis. SVG rectangles represent the marks, with grid lines and tick labels generated via `d3.ticks()`. Data is pulled from a GitHub gist CSV, and the chart renders within a fixed 960x500 viewport with defined margins.
