The top 10 neighbors for NBCBLK span news publishers, websites, TV personalities, academics, an author, and a musician — a mixed cluster with no single subcategory dominating and no score standing far above the rest.

The shape is flat: scores run from 0.99 down to 0.96 across the ten neighbors, a narrow band with no structural spike. theGrio.com leads at 0.99, followed closely by Angela Rye (0.98) and Marc Lamont Hill (0.98), then The Root (0.98) and Blavity News (0.97). The remaining five — Huffington Post Black Voices (0.97), Michael Eric Dyson (0.97), Janelle Monáe (0.96), Shonda Rhimes (0.96), and Black Girl Nerds (0.96) — hold nearly the same position. Tallying subcategories across the ten: two are News Publishers (The Root, Huffington Post Black Voices), two are Websites (theGrio.com, Blavity News), two are TV Personalities (Angela Rye, Shonda Rhimes), two are Academics (Marc Lamont Hill) and Authors (Michael Eric Dyson), one is a Musician (Janelle Monáe), and one is a Blog (Black Girl Nerds). NBCBLK's own subcategory — News Publishers — accounts for only two of the ten neighbors, meaning the audience shape extends well beyond fellow news publishers into commentary figures, digital media, and entertainment personalities. The cross-kind presence of TV personalities, academics, and a musician alongside news and web publishers is the defining feature of this cluster.

The flat, tightly-packed distribution suggests an audience whose composition is consistent and cohesive across a wide range of media types and public figures rather than anchored to any single format.
