Engagement
A typical post picks up 43 interactions against 462K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 61 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 7.9K times each, and 0.542% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.72% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 61 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 393 interactions, about 9.1x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #kigaliyacu, #carfreeday, #mondayreflection.

Compared with accounts its own size
City of Kigali's engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 33% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.009%, City of Kigali sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,798 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 98% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 2% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 98% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 2% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 430 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

📸 A healthy Sunday in motion! 🏃🏾♀️🚴🏾♂️💪🏾 This morning, residents across all districts of #KigaliYacu came out in numbers for #CarFreeDay, our twice-monthly community sports event promoting active and healthy lifestyles. From walking and running to cycling, aerobics and gymnastics, there was something for everyone to get moving and start the day on an energetic note. Beyond exercise, participants also received free screenings for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and practical health advice to help them make healthier choices every day. A healthier Kigali starts with each one of us. 💚 #BeatNCDs #HeheNicyuma #KigaliYacu

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 43 interactions against 462K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 61 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 7.9K times each, and 0.542% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.72% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 61 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 393 interactions, about 9.1x its own typical post.

- What is City of Kigali's engagement rate on X?
- City of Kigali (@CityofKigali) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 61 original posts from the last 30 days against 462,298 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.009%, City of Kigali sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,798 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @CityofKigali have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @CityofKigali post?
- Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.73 posts per day across the measured window.
