Engagement
A typical post picks up 58 interactions against 468K followers, an engagement rate of 0.012%. Measured over 52 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 4,273 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 18K times each, and 0.315% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.90% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 52 posts sampled, 21% carry an image or video, 12% are part of a thread and 8% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 709 interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
DFW Scanner's engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 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 23% 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 0.012%, DFW Scanner sits above the 10th percentile of the 41,299 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.013%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday 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.

Notice the thick black smoke in Grand Prairie today? Here’s the aftermath. ⬇️ Grand Prairie firefighters responded to a commercial property in the 1200 block of Avenue J East and found several vehicles on fire after a possible transformer explosion. A few dozen vehicles were engulfed in the flames, which put out a thick column of black smoke. Some residents in the area also reported a power outage as a result of the transformer issue. Nice work Grand Prairie Fire Department containing this one. 👉🏼 Thanks to Kevin Ho for the drone shot.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 58 interactions against 468K followers, an engagement rate of 0.012%. Measured over 52 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 4,273 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 18K times each, and 0.315% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.90% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is DFW Scanner's engagement rate on X?
- DFW Scanner (@DFWscanner) has an engagement rate of 0.012%, based on the median interactions across 52 original posts from the last 30 days against 468,412 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.012%, DFW Scanner sits above the 10th percentile of the 41,299 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 @DFWscanner have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 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 @DFWscanner post?
- Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
