This area chart visualizes world population growth over time, using a smooth curve to emphasize the accelerating trend upward. The visualization is built with D3 v6, leveraging `d3.area`, `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.scaleLinear`, and axis generators to render an SVG. Data is loaded from a CSV file via `d3.csv`, with years parsed as dates and populations as numbers. The chart includes labeled axes and gridlines, presenting the data with a maroon filled area beneath the population curve.
