This paper examines the limiting variance of nearest neighbor matching estimators for average treatment effects with a fixed number of matches. We present, for the first time, a closed-form expression for this limit. Here the key is the establishment of the limiting second moment of the catchment area's volume, which resolves a question of Abadie and Imbens. At the core of our approach is a new universality theorem on the measures of high-order Voronoi cells, extending a result by Devroye, Gy\"orfi, Lugosi, and Walk.
