Two distinct audience neighborhoods define the Boston Police Department's similarity graph, and they pull in very different directions. The top three neighbors are all Boston-specific accounts — Boston.com (0.99), Governor of Massachusetts (0.98), and Only In Boston (0.96) — forming a tight local-civic cluster that reflects the department's geographic rootedness. Then the graph shifts sharply.
Positions four through ten belong almost entirely to a different audience neighborhood: nationally oriented political and media figures. Boston Globe Sports (0.88) is the bridge between the two clusters, carrying both local and broader readership. After that, Chris Murphy (0.87), Colin Quinn (0.87), Albert Brooks (0.86), Charles P. Pierce (0.85), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (0.85), and Coffee & Tea (0.85) round out the top 10. By subcategory, that second cluster spans politicians, actors, comedians, and journalists — none of them Boston-specific. No other Government accounts appear in the top 10 besides the Governor of Massachusetts. The center entity's own subcategory (Government) has exactly one match among the ten neighbors.
The two-peak shape here captures an audience that is simultaneously hyper-local and broadly civically engaged — people who follow their city closely and also track national political and cultural conversation.
