Two education media properties sit at nearly identical heights in the U.S. Department of Education's top 10 — Education Week at 0.91 and U.S. News Education at 0.91 — forming a two-peak structure where no single neighbor dominates.
The shape is two-peak, and the twin anchors define the cluster's character: education-focused media and education organizations. After those two peaks, NEA (0.89) rounds out the top three, all three drawing audiences with nearly identical composition. The next tier — Education Next at 0.80 and EdSurge at 0.78 — continues the education-media pattern, both being news publishers or websites oriented toward the education sector. Five of the top 10 neighbors carry an Education subcategory (Organizations or Brands) or are education-focused media properties, making this a strongly same-domain cluster.
The structural surprise is position six: Canva (0.77), a Technology brand with no explicit education subcategory, sits comfortably inside the top 10 alongside TED-Ed (0.74) and Edutopia (0.73). DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) (0.71) and MindShift (0.71) close out the set — a footwear retailer and an education blog sharing audience shape with a federal agency, which signals that the underlying audience profile is broad enough to pull in non-education neighbors at the margins.
The overall picture is an audience anchored tightly in the professional education world, with a secondary pull toward general-interest media and consumer brands that happen to share the same demographic composition.
