A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 245K followers, an engagement rate of 0.643%. Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 90% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 61K times each, and 2.61% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 24.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 33% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 8.6x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

South Asia Index's engagement rate beats 90% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 73% 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 0.643%, South Asia Index sits above the 75th percentile of the 65,980 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the top 25% band, which runs 0.499% to 2.09%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 65,980 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 57,142 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 15:00 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.

  • 33% 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.
  • 0% 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 388 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

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.

Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 90% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size.

That is about 24.7% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

What is South Asia Index's engagement rate on X?
South Asia Index (@SouthAsiaIndex) has an engagement rate of 0.643%, based on the median interactions across 27 original posts from the last 30 days against 245,376 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.643%, South Asia Index sits above the 75th percentile of the 65,980 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 @SouthAsiaIndex have real engagement?

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.
