A typical post picks up 2 interactions against 859K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 98 original posts, its engagement rate beats 4% of 3,829 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 4.7K times each, and 0.043% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.547% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 98 posts sampled, 9% carry an image or video and 99% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29 interactions, about 15x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

ABC 7 Chicago's engagement rate beats 4% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 2% 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 under 0.001%, ABC 7 Chicago sits below the 10th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,071 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,527 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 21:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 2 interactions against 859K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 98 original posts, its engagement rate beats 4% of 3,829 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 4.7K times each, and 0.043% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.547% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week.

What is ABC 7 Chicago's engagement rate on X?
ABC 7 Chicago (@ABC7Chicago) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 98 original posts from the last 30 days against 858,853 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At under 0.001%, ABC 7 Chicago sits below the 10th percentile of the 37,071 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 @ABC7Chicago have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 4% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% 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 @ABC7Chicago post?
Most posts go out around 21:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.27 posts per day across the measured window.
