Compared with accounts its own size
Dan Walker's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 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 25% 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 07:00 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.

It is baffling that we still haven’t had an update on Ann Widdecombe’s murder or know more about the motive. What on earth is going on? It’s been 28 days now.

This is such a beautiful moment from the World Cup. 7 men, from 2 rivals… praying together at the end of their journey this summer.

Incredibly sad news about the death of Kevin Keegan. He was a wonderful footballer and his passion for the game was second to none. I used to love going to interview him each week and he was great fun on and off the microphone. Kevin was fantastic company. His legacy lies not just in trophies and accolades he won but in the joy he brought to so many. My deepest condolences to his family.

- What is Dan Walker's engagement rate on X?
- Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) has an engagement rate of 0.07%, based on the median interactions across 18 original posts from the last 30 days against 738,652 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.07%, Dan Walker sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,701 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 @mrdanwalker have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 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 @mrdanwalker post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.9 posts per day across the measured window.
