Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 41% of 3,899 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 29K times each, and 0.675% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video and 10% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.6K interactions, about 34x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

New Orleans Pelicans's engagement rate beats 41% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 40% 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 0.015%, New Orleans Pelicans 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%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

What is New Orleans Pelicans's engagement rate on X?
New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 42 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,296,671 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.015%, New Orleans Pelicans 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 @PelicansNBA have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 41% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 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 @PelicansNBA post?
Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.2 posts per day across the measured window.
