The top 10 neighbors for Michelle Obama are dominated by journalists, not fellow politicians — five of the ten are in that subcategory, compared to just two politicians. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 1.0 indicates near-identical audience shape.
The scores span a narrow band from 0.95 to 0.98, consistent with the flat shape classification. Barack Obama sits at the top (0.98), the only neighbor above 0.97. The journalist cluster — Van Jones (0.97), Michael Harriot (0.96), Soledad O'Brien (0.96), Symone D. Sanders (0.96), and April Ryan (0.96) — forms the densest subcategory block in the set. Stacey Abrams (0.96) is the only other politician in the top 10. The remaining three positions go to Naomi Osaka (0.95, Athletes), Eddie S. Glaude Jr. (0.95, Academics), and The Obama Foundation (0.95, Non-Profit) — each a different subcategory, adding breadth without forming a second cluster.
The flat, journalist-heavy shape suggests this audience is defined less by political affiliation alone and more by a broader orientation toward political media and commentary.
