This bar chart displays the population estimates for the ten most populous countries, using a horizontal layout where each bar’s length corresponds to the population in thousands. The visualization relies on D3’s `scaleBand` and `scaleLinear` to position bars and map values, while `axisLeft` renders the y-axis. Data comes from the un-population-estimates-2024 dataset, filtered to include only country-level entries and sorted in descending order. The chart includes labeled axes for country names and population values, with a gray inner rectangle framing the plotting area.
