Keyword Prominence - refers to how prominent keywords are within a web page. The general recommendation is to place important keywords at, or near, the start of a web page, sentence, TITLE or META tag.
Keyword Proximity - refers to the closeness between two or more keywords. In general, the closer the keywords are, the better.

How Keyword Density Affects Search Engine Rankings
How Keyword Density Affects Rankings In Search Engine I appreciate your reply, Potchie. You're such a big help. Keyword prominence - measures how close the keyword appears of the beginning of the sentence. The closer to the beginning your targeted keyword appears, the higher the prominence will be, with a higher keyword prominence being favorable. Prominence applies to word in the title, web page body, META tags, Heading tags, and the alt-tags.
Prominence is how close to the start of the area that the keyword appears. In general, a keyword that appears closer to the top of the page or area will be more relevant. However, sometimes it helps to have a keyword in the middle of an area, or even toward the end of the area.
Examples of prominence:
If a keyword appears at the beginning of an area, its prominence will be 100%.
If a keyword appears in the middle of an area, its prominence will be 50%.
If the keyword appears at the beginning of the area, then another repetition appears at the end of the area, the prominence would be 50%.
If the keyword appears at the end of the area, prominence would be 0%.
Keyword proximity measures the closeness between two keywords.
Keyword density - calculates the percentage of keyword words and phrases compared to the total of words in your web page body. It is also the ratio of the number of occurrences of a particular keyword or phrase to the total number of words in a page. One element of search engine optimization.Represents the frequency these keyword words appear in a page or in an area of a page.The number of times a keyword is used on a web page divided by the total number of words on the page. Keyword Density also known as keyword weight, measures the relationship of keywords to other text. The higher the percentage of keywords in relationship to other text, the better. The recommended density is 3-7%. This means that your keyword should repeat 3-7 times for every 100 words.
Keyword Prominence - refers to how prominent keywords are within a web page. The best place to place keywords in the text is at the top of each page, preferably the main page. The closer your keywords are to the start of the page or the start of a sentence, the better.
Keyword Proximity - means the how close keywords are to each other. Put your keywords as close together as possible and make sure your sentences are clear. Some engines, such as Google, use the concept of "keyword proximity" as part of their ranking formulas.
Here's an example:

Keyword density:It can be calculated as the number of times a keyword or phrase appears within a webpage divided by the total number of words on that page
Keyword prominence:The general location of a keyword or phrase in relation to the overall text on that page.It denotes how close to the start of an area of a page that a keyword appears. In general, having the keyword closer to the start of an area will lead to an improvement in the search engine ranking of a page.

It does affect readability, though, and in that respect, keyword "density" or a lack thereof, has some value.
But not for SEO and ranking.
