This interactive scatter plot shows Massachusetts school district retention rates in relation to chronic absenteeism, with three dropdown menus letting viewers compare different metrics on the x-axis, y-axis, and point size. The visualization uses d3.scaleLinear to map data values to pixel coordinates, with circles rendered as SVG marks whose radius corresponds to a selected attribute. Data is loaded from a CSV via d3.csv, and the React interface updates the axes and circle sizes dynamically when menu selections change, while tooltips display formatted values for each district.
