HHS engagement report
@HHSGov - 1.7M followers on X
Measured over 64 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 344 interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.021%. Measured over 64 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 3,881 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 1.76% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.17% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 64 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 84x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
HHS's engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 73% 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.

At 0.021%, HHS sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.081%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

Another major MAHA victory. I’m encouraged to see companies like Kellogg taking meaningful action to remove artificial dyes from their foods. This is the kind of leadership that helps give families healthier choices. I urge every food company to step up and join us in our mission to Make America Healthy Again.

Medicaid exists to serve vulnerable Americans — not to bankroll unsupported claims. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are restoring accountability across our public programs and protecting taxpayer dollars. I appreciate @DrOzCMS's leadership in strengthening Medicaid program integrity and ensuring federal funds are spent as Congress intended.

In the City of Angels, the homeless industrial complex ends now. Nearly $1B in federal funds while homelessness doubled. The days of funding corrupt failure are over. HUD & @HHSGov will not bankroll this broken system another day. https://t.co/s8DUbUJjHe

Imagine calling a taxi that never shows up — then getting billed for a ride you never took. That’s what Adnan “Eddie” Arshad of Long Island, NY, was convicted of doing, allegedly offering fake rides into Manhattan as part of a health care fraud scheme. Arshad was convicted of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and money laundering. The War on Fraud continues. @TheJusticeDept

I joined @RepOgles and @ACF_Adams at a Head Start facility in Tennessee to announce a major step forward for America’s children and families. Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is making the largest investment in Head Start in the program’s history—$2.2 billion. We are removing unnecessary bureaucracy, strengthening nutrition and physical health, trusting parents and local communities, and opening Head Start to hundreds of thousands more children. That’s how we renew the promise of Head Start for the next generation.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 344 interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.021%. Measured over 64 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 3,881 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 1.76% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.17% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is HHS's engagement rate on X?
- HHS (@HHSGov) has an engagement rate of 0.021%, based on the median interactions across 64 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,675,378 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.021%, HHS sits above the 25th 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.
- Does @HHSGov have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,881 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 @HHSGov post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 6.47 posts per day across the measured window.
