Activists, politicians, and comedians — not fellow actors — define the shape of LeVar Burton's nearest audiences, with no single dominant neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.

The shape is broad: scores run from 0.90 down to 0.85 across the top five, with no sharp drop-off. Bernice King (0.90) and Killer Mike (0.90) sit at the top, followed closely by comedians George Wallace (0.89) and Roy Wood Jr. (0.89), and politician Nina Turner (0.87). Tallying the subcategories across all 10 neighbors: Comedians account for two entries (George Wallace and Roy Wood Jr.), Activists one (Bernice King), Musicians and Bands one (Killer Mike), and Politicians one (Nina Turner). The remaining five include Dionne Warwick (Musicians, 0.86), Keegan-Michael Key (Actors, 0.86), Ben Crump (Professionals, 0.86), Michelle Obama (Politicians, 0.85), and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II (Activists, 0.85). Only one neighbor — Keegan-Michael Key — shares Burton's own subcategory of Actors, making this a strongly cross-kind cluster. The mix of activists, politicians, comedians, and musicians, with a single fellow actor, points to an audience organized around civic and cultural engagement rather than entertainment genre.

The breadth and cross-kind composition of this top 10 suggest an audience that follows public figures across multiple domains simultaneously, rather than clustering around any single type.
