A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 1.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.081%. Measured over 109 original posts, its engagement rate beats 80% of 4,273 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 56K times each, and 1.99% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.05% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 109 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

St. Louis Cardinals's engagement rate beats 80% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,273 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 76% 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 0.081%, St. Louis Cardinals sits above the 25th percentile of the 41,299 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.013% to 0.083%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 41,299 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 90,063 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Reading these numbers

Measured over 109 original posts, its engagement rate beats 80% of 4,273 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 56K times each, and 1.99% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.05% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 109 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.
