This example visualizes the ten most populous countries as of January 1, 2024, using a bar chart where bar height encodes population in thousands. The visualization is built with D3.js, leveraging `scaleBand` for categorical x-axis placement and `scaleLinear` for the continuous y-axis, while axis labels and ticks are rendered via custom helper functions. Data comes from the `@curran/un-population-estimates-2024` package, filtered to countries and sorted in descending order to isolate the top ten. The chart includes a gray inner rectangle backdrop and margin-based layout, with bars styled using D3 selections.
