This area chart visualizes world population growth over time, showing the population values by year with a smooth, curved line and filled area beneath it. The chart uses D3 v5 to load CSV data, parse dates and numeric population values, and render SVG shapes. The x-axis uses `scaleTime` for the year values, while the y-axis uses `scaleLinear` and a custom tick formatter that converts large numbers to abbreviated labels like "B" for billions. The area generator employs `curveBasis` for a smoothed path.
