The top 10 neighbors span actors, comedians, activists, musicians, journalists, and two consumer brands — no single subcategory dominates, which is the defining structural fact about Sterling K Brown's audience shape.

The shape is broad. LeVar Burton leads at 0.82, the only neighbor to clear 0.80. From there, the scores descend gradually: Bernice King (0.77, Activists), Keegan-Michael Key (0.76, Actors), Roy Wood Jr. (0.76, Comedians), and Dionne Warwick (0.75, Musicians and Bands). The next five — George Wallace (0.75, Comedians), IKEA USA (0.75, Home), Killer Mike (0.75, Musicians and Bands), Enterprise Rent-A-Car (0.74, Car Rental), and Bomani Jones (0.72, Journalists) — hold within a tight band, with no second spike.

Tallying the subcategories: three Actors (Burton, Key, and Brown himself shares that subcategory), two Comedians, two Musicians and Bands, one Activist, one Journalist, and two non-celebrity brands (a home retailer and a car rental service). The cross-kind presence of IKEA USA and Enterprise Rent-A-Car alongside cultural figures is the most structurally notable feature of the top 10 — these are not thematically related to Brown, but their audiences carry the same compositional shape.

The broad, evenly distributed pattern across subcategories suggests an audience that does not cluster tightly around any single cultural lane.
