MI ZIP Code Pop.
This visualization shows the population distribution across Michigan ZIP codes, with each ZIP code region colored and opacified based on its population density. The map uses an azimuthal equal-area projection, rendering ZIP code boundaries and administrative land features as SVG paths via `d3.geoPath`. Population data from michigan-demographics.com drives a linear opacity scale (`d3.scaleLinear`), mapping lower populations to more transparent regions and higher populations to more opaque ones. Hovering over a region reveals the ZIP code and its population in a tooltip.
