UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency engagement report
@Refugees - 2.8M followers on X
Measured over 71 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 111 interactions against 2.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 71 original posts, its engagement rate beats 23% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 8.7K times each, and 1.28% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.315% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 71 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 32% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.8K interactions, about 52x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #unga, #excom, #asiangames.

Compared with accounts its own size
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's engagement rate beats 23% 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 54% 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.

At 0.004%, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,491 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 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.

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 | 92% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 32% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 92% 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.
- 32% 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 228 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.

For Goodwill Ambassador Theo James, the right to seek safety is personal. His grandfather fled Nazi-occupied Greece and found refuge in Syria. His family’s story reminds us of the world’s promise from 75 years ago: no one forced to flee should be denied the chance to find safety.

75 years ago, the world made a promise to protect people forced to flee. Today, that promise is under strain. Our Goodwill Ambassador Theo James’ grandfather’s story powerfully reminds us why we must protect the right to seek safety. Read his op-ed via @TIME: https://t.co/QcCPw1YApa

In Damascus today, I met President Ahmad Al-Sharaa to discuss the rising number of Syrians returning home, the millions still displaced, and the support needed to rebuild lives after years of conflict. A peaceful and inclusive Syria is the foundation for lasting recovery. Syrians are determined to rebuild. The international community must match that determination with sustained support, investment, and solidarity.

9 years of lives on hold. 9 years of surviving in the camps. 9 years since the largest Rohingya refugee influx into Bangladesh. The world’s attention may have shifted, but the Rohingya refugees' need for safety and a life with dignity has not. We cannot look away. https://t.co/1DdsmDF3yG

240,000 of the most vulnerable refugees in South Sudan could lose food assistance as soon as the end of September due to funding cuts. As millions across the country face severe hunger, refugees are being pushed to the brink. Urgent support is needed. https://t.co/0xmklmStRT

Nobody chooses to become a refugee. But we can choose compassion. We can choose solidarity. We can choose to uphold the rights that belong to every human being. Because refugee rights are human rights. https://t.co/Gof1QlpqjK

- What is UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's engagement rate on X?
- UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency (@Refugees) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 71 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,756,609 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,491 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 @Refugees have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 23% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @Refugees post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.43 posts per day across the measured window.
