Carolina Hurricanes engagement report
@Canes - 578K followers on X
Measured over 28 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.0K interactions against 578K followers, an engagement rate of 0.174%. Measured over 28 original posts, its engagement rate beats 79% of 3,882 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 31K times each, and 3.25% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.37% 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 53% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 28 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 32% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 30K interactions, about 29x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #canes, #stanleycup.

Compared with accounts its own size
Carolina Hurricanes's engagement rate beats 79% 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 83% 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 16:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.174%, Carolina Hurricanes sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,582 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.

- Its engagement rate beats 79% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts), which puts it in the top 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.
