Venus Williams' nearest audiences are actors and musicians, not other athletes — with Serena Williams (0.99) the sole fellow Athlete in the top 10.
The shape here is flat: scores run from 0.97 down to 0.97 at the low end, compressing into a tight band between 0.9666 and 0.9929 with no single neighbor pulling far ahead. Actors account for three of the ten slots — Tracee Ellis Ross (0.98), Idris Elba (0.97), and Regina King (0.97) — and Musicians and Bands fill another three: Common (0.97), Solange Knowles (0.97), and Erykah Badoula (0.97). The remaining positions go to Oprah Winfrey Network (0.97, TV Channels), Iyanla Vanzant (0.97, Spiritual Leaders), and Tavis Smiley (0.97, TV Personalities). The cluster reads less like a sports audience and more like an audience organized around Black cultural media — actors, musicians, a cable network, a spiritual leader, and a media personality all scoring within a few hundredths of each other.
The flat distribution means no single neighbor defines this audience; the signal is the consistent overlap across a wide range of entertainment and cultural subcategories.
