Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% of 3,791 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size
Seattle Police Department's engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 20% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 23:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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 Seattle Police Department's engagement rate on X?
- Seattle Police Department (@SeattlePD) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 549,284 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.009%, Seattle Police Department sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,759 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 @SeattlePD have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 @SeattlePD post?
- Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
