A typical post picks up 222 interactions against 427K followers, an engagement rate of 0.052%. Measured over 38 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 3,829 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 42K times each, and 0.531% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 9.76% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 38 posts sampled, 89% carry an image or video and 8% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 5.0x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #acab, #brighton, #football.

Compared with accounts its own size

London & UK Street News's engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 35% 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 0.052%, London & UK Street News sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,071 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,527 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 07:00 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.

What is London & UK Street News's engagement rate on X?
London & UK Street News (@CrimeLdn) has an engagement rate of 0.052%, based on the median interactions across 38 original posts from the last 30 days against 427,352 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.052%, London & UK Street News sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 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 @CrimeLdn have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @CrimeLdn post?
Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.07 posts per day across the measured window.
