Measured over 12 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 3, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 25 interactions against 613K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 21% of 4,346 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 4.6K times each, and 0.542% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.751% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.97 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 12 posts sampled, 83% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 83 interactions, about 3.3x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
U.S. EPA's engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,346 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 35% 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 0.004%, U.S. EPA sits above the 10th percentile of the 42,087 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.013%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

In order to Power the Great American Comeback, we at the Trump EPA believe strongly in partnering with states to advance cooperative federalism and streamline the rule making process to following through on our core statutory obligations. Today, EPA’s two proposed actions—if finalized—would grant New Hampshire’s request to withdraw from the Ozone Transport Region, and would remove the Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance program from the State Implementation Plan. EPA remains committed to providing clean air to communities in NH and throughout @eparegion1. https://t.co/QC4dh18fay

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 25 interactions against 613K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 21% of 4,346 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 4.6K times each, and 0.542% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.751% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is U.S. EPA's engagement rate on X?
- U.S. EPA (@EPA) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 12 original posts from the last 30 days against 613,341 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, U.S. EPA sits above the 10th percentile of the 42,087 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 @EPA have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,346 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 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.
- When does @EPA post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.97 posts per day across the measured window.
