This scatter plot uses a point scale for the y-axis and a linear scale for the x-axis to display top countries by population. D3 v5 functions like `scaleLinear`, `scalePoint`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` are used to render the SVG circles and axes. The chart reads from a CSV file, though the example uses dummy school data in place of the expected population dataset. The y-axis is labeled with school names while the x-axis shows population values, with axis labels and ticks styled via CSS.
