This streamgraph visualizes the total number of persons of concern to UNHCR, grouped by country of origin, using a flowing, layered area chart. The data spans multiple years and is filtered to exclude countries with relatively low counts. Rendered in SVG with D3 v4, the chart uses a wiggle offset to create the signature streamgraph silhouette, with each country’s contribution represented as a colored layer. Labels are positioned using d3-area-label, and hovering highlights individual streams by turning them black. The visualization relies on interpolated yearly values and a custom stack layout to show change over time for over 1 million persons of concern per country.
