A choropleth of the United States highlights states with fewer than three million residents in red, with California singled out in blue, set against light gray for all other states. The map shows the stark contrast between California’s population and the combined populations of seventeen smaller states. The visualization uses D3 v4’s `d3.geoPath` to project US TopoJSON boundaries and renders the result as SVG, with each state fill assigned via a fixed list of FIPS-state codes from the source data.
