A typical post picks up 120 interactions against 642K followers, an engagement rate of 0.019%. Measured over 30 original posts, its engagement rate beats 42% of 3,774 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 16K times each, and 0.732% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.54% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 30 posts sampled, 90% carry an image or video and 30% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.3K interactions, about 11x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Calgary Flames's engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 44% 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 0.019%, Calgary Flames sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 36,521 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,166 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

What is Calgary Flames's engagement rate on X?
Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) has an engagement rate of 0.019%, based on the median interactions across 30 original posts from the last 30 days against 641,823 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.019%, Calgary Flames sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 @NHLFlames have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @NHLFlames post?
Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
