This scatter plot displays reported dates versus total dead and missing migrants, using a logarithmic y-axis to check for a power-law distribution in the data. The visualization employs a React component structure with D3’s `scaleLog` and `scaleTime`, rendering SVG circles with tooltips via nested `<title>` elements. Data comes from a CSV of Missing Migrants Global 2019-10-08 subset, loaded asynchronously through `d3.csv`. Axis components build custom ticks, and the marks layer maps each record to a circle, with loading state shown before the dataset arrives.
