This example loads and parses a CSV file of notable earthquakes from 1900 to 1999, then displays basic file statistics—size in kilobytes, row count, and column count—in a large text element. The visualization emphasizes data loading and parsing over graphical rendering, using `d3.csv` to fetch and parse the remote dataset from a GitHub gist, and `d3.csvFormat` to calculate the raw data size. The code also demonstrates an alternative `fetch`-based approach with `d3.csvParse`, though the active path uses the simpler `d3.csv` promise interface.
