Circles on a Map
✓ Published1🌍 Public
This visualization shows global population distribution for 2018 by placing semi-transparent circles at the centroid of each country on a natural Earth projection map, with circle area scaled to population. Users can pan and zoom via d3.zoom, and hovering over a country reveals its exact population in a tooltip. The visualization uses d3.geoPath to render country boundaries from TopoJSON and couples them with CSV data, while a custom size legend with d3.scaleSqrt and d3.format communicates the circle sizes.
