This bar chart displays the populations of the top 10 most populous countries, but it uses a non-zero baseline, making the differences between countries appear exaggerated. The chart ranks the countries along the y-axis using a d3.scaleBand, while the x-axis uses a d3.scaleLinear that starts at the minimum population value rather than zero, misleadingly emphasizing proportional differences. Data comes from the 2018 United Nations World Population Prospects, imported via d3.csv. The visualization is built with D3 v5, rendering SVG rects, axes via d3.axisLeft and d3.axisBottom, and custom tick formatting with d3.format.
