This scatterplot displays the population of the top 10 most populous countries, using data from the 2019 United Nations World Population Prospects. Each circle’s horizontal position encodes population on a linear scale, while the vertical axis uses a point scale for countries. The visualization is rendered with D3 v5, using `scaleLinear`, `scalePoint`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to construct the SVG chart. Gridlines extend across the plot, and the x-axis formats tick labels in abbreviated units using `format('.3s')`.
