The top 10 neighbors for USA TODAY Money span five distinct subcategories — News Publishers, Websites, Technology, Finance, and Hotels — with no single type dominating and scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.96 down to 0.93.
The shape is flat: CNN Business leads at 0.96, followed closely by MarketWatch at 0.95 and Hootsuite at 0.95, but none of these pulls far enough ahead to anchor the cluster on its own. WSJ Personal Finance (0.95) and Vanguard (0.94) round out the top five. Three of those five are News Publishers — the same subcategory as USA TODAY Money itself — which means the audience shape does reflect its own kind to a meaningful degree. But the presence of a social media management platform (Hootsuite, 0.95) and an investment firm (Vanguard, 0.94) in the top five signals that the audience composition extends well beyond financial news readers. Further down, Yahoo Finance (0.94) and CNBC (0.93) reinforce the news-publisher thread, while Hilton Hotels (0.93) and the American Management Association (0.93) introduce hospitality and professional-education audiences into the mix — cross-kind neighbors that suggest a business-professional orientation rather than a purely finance-media one.
The flat, mixed-subcategory structure points to an audience that is broadly business-professional in composition, drawing from financial media, investment brands, and workplace-adjacent channels in roughly equal measure.
