Compared with accounts its own size
Dan Rapaport's engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 13% 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 18:00 UTC, and Sunday 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.

One of the best finishes in recent major memory...a birdie on the brutal 18th to win it outright. Fox played the best all day. Didn't miss a shot down the stretch. Crucial bogey save on the back 9 just like Spieth did. An incredibly compelling watch. https://t.co/NRBbVS1E5b

- What is Dan Rapaport's engagement rate on X?
- Dan Rapaport (@Daniel_Rapaport) has an engagement rate of 0.005%, based on the median interactions across 30 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,854,432 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.005%, Dan Rapaport sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,759 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 @Daniel_Rapaport have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 36% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 @Daniel_Rapaport post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
