This area chart displays the total crime rate in the United States from 1960 to 2014, using a smooth curved line to highlight trends over time. The visualization loads data from a CSV file hosted on GitHub and uses D3 v6 APIs such as `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, `area`, and `curveBasis` to generate the SVG rendering. The chart includes labeled axes with formatted tick marks, a title, and a filled steelblue area beneath the curve, with margins and styling applied via external CSS.
