A typical post picks up 102 interactions against 438K followers, an engagement rate of 0.023%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 43% of 3,882 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 60K times each, and 0.17% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 13.8% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.73 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 13% carry an image or video and 88% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 5.1K interactions, about 50x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Leo Varadkar's engagement rate beats 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,856 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 97,248 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday 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 the last five years, about 150k Irish citizens emigrated. And, almost exactly the same number returned. When compared with British people leaving the UK, Australians leaving Australia, Canadians leaving Canada, Germans, kiwis - what REALLY stands about Ireland is the very high rate of return.

    There are many ways to reform inheritance (gift) tax and to make it fairer without reducing the yield. A basic principle should be that income that's never been earned or taxed should not be taxed at a lower rate than we tax people's labour - i mo thuairaimse - anyway https://t.co/PHBYPpsBsQ

What is Leo Varadkar's engagement rate on X?
Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) has an engagement rate of 0.023%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 437,649 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.023%, Leo Varadkar sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,856 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 @LeoVaradkar have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 43% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 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 @LeoVaradkar post?
Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.73 posts per day across the measured window.
