A typical post picks up 50 interactions against 468K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 57 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 21,185 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 0.273% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.92% 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, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 57 posts sampled, 42% carry an image or video and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 709 interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

DFW Scanner's engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 19% 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 0.011%, DFW Scanner sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,805 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 212,805 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,448 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

  • 42% 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.
  • 18% 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 235 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

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.

    Incredible scenes from behind the fire line as firefighters continue the hard work of building containment, protecting homes and communities, and suppressing hot spots on the #RossFire in Palo Pinto County. For days now, strike teams and crews from fire departments across North Texas have worked alongside local firefighters to battle this fire from the ground and the air. These crews are putting in long hours, working through challenging conditions, and doing what they do best.🔥 As of Saturday evening, the fire has reached approximately 90,000 acres and is 31% contained. There is still a long road ahead. Please continue to pray for the firefighters on the ground and in the air, the departments supporting the response, and every family and community impacted by the fire. 🙏

    On Tuesday, October 6, at 7:08 a.m., Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) units were dispatched to the Texas State Fair for a reported fire. A large column of smoke could be seen upon arrival; and when firefighters arrived on location, they discovered fire coming from a gaming stand.   They were able to quickly extinguish the fire, declaring an “out taps” at 7:26, but the stand, which was identified as a “ring toss” game, sustained significant damage. The gaming stands were not open for business at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries reported. Though the fire is out, firefighters are still putting out hot spots located within several stuffed animals and other prizes.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 50 interactions against 468K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 57 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 21,185 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 0.273% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.92% 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, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 57 posts sampled, 42% carry an image or video and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 709 interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

What is DFW Scanner's engagement rate on X?
DFW Scanner (@DFWscanner) has an engagement rate of 0.011%, based on the median interactions across 57 original posts from the last 30 days against 468,009 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.011%, DFW Scanner sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,805 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 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 00:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
