This area chart visualizes global population growth from 1950 to 2015 using data from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2017. The maroon-filled area curve shows population values over time, with a time-scaled x-axis and linear y-axis formatted in billions. Built with D3 v6, the visualization uses `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, `area`, and `curveBasis` to generate the smooth path, along with `axisLeft` and `axisBottom` for labeled gridlines. Data is loaded as CSV and rendered as SVG.
