Weather infrastructure dominates NOAA's nearest audiences, but politicians and conservative media fill out a surprisingly large share of the top 10 — making this one of the more politically inflected neighbor sets for a science agency.
The shape here is broad: scores range from 0.88 down to 0.75 with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest. The National Hurricane Center leads at 0.88, followed closely by a second National Hurricane Center handle (nwsnhc, 0.84) and the National Weather Service at 0.83 — three weather-and-emergency Government or Tools-and-Resources entities forming the core cluster. Weather Underground (0.83, Websites) extends that weather-data band into the commercial web.
From position five onward, the neighbor set pivots sharply. News Maker (0.79, News Publishers) and NOAA Satellites (0.79, Government) sit side by side, and then Marco Rubio (0.77, Politicians) and Jeb Bush (0.77, Politicians) appear — the first of several Politicians subcategory entries in the top 10. U.S. Secret Service (0.75, Government) and The Federalist (0.75, Websites) close out the set. Tallying the top 10: four Government entities, two Websites, one News Publishers, and two Politicians — with no Boating, Outdoors, or retail subcategories appearing until well beyond position 10 in the broader graph.
The cross-kind pattern is the defining feature: NOAA's audience shape is shared not just by weather services and emergency agencies, but by a politically engaged audience that also follows Republican-aligned politicians and right-leaning media — a pairing that reflects the Florida-hurricane-politics nexus visible throughout the neighbor set.
