A typical post picks up 122 interactions against 436K followers, an engagement rate of 0.028%. Measured over 48 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% of 4,310 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 11K times each, and 1.11% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.52% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 48 posts sampled, 27% carry an image or video and 15% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 85x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Public Citizen's engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,310 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 52% 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 0.028%, Public Citizen sits above the 25th percentile of the 41,681 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.013% to 0.083%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 41,681 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 89,603 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 17:00 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.

    HATCH ACT VIOLATION: We filed a complaint alleging that Todd Blanche violated the Hatch Act by speaking at a NY campaign rally to boost a Republican candidate. As Attorney General, it's illegal for Blanche to engage in partisan political campaigns. This must be investigated.

    Obama's admin had 3 people worth as much as $100M+. Bush & Biden's admin each had 5 people worth as much as $100M+. Trump's admin? 57 PEOPLE, excluding Trump, worth as much as $100M+. And that includes 8 billionaires. Our country is being run by the ultra-wealthy.

    We sued the Trump admin 30 times since the inauguration. Most of our lawsuits are still in court. But in many of these cases, we have succeeded in stopping, or at least reducing, the damage that Trump is inflicting on our nation. And we will not stop fighting!

    NEW LAWSUIT: We're suing the National Park Service to disclose the shadowy fundraising effort behind America 250 events. The Trump admin awarded over $103M in federal contracts to politicized groups. We're suing for key documents that expose the details.

    Trump said that if was in charge of a community, he'd want to have data centers built there. How about he puts his money where his mouth is. Go stick a tacky gold adorned coal powered data center in Mar-a-Lago, then we can talk. https://t.co/kgbX3HEj6m

    Elon Musk is expected to spend up to $200 MILLION to support Republicans in the midterms. In a democracy, elections are not supposed to be for sale. Get billionaires the hell out of politics and END CITIZENS UNITED.

    SNAP enrollment dropped over 13% in the last year. It’s not because people are lifting themselves off of food stamps. It’s because the Trump admin’s new requirements are throwing people off them. Thanks to Trump, people are having to choose between bills or groceries.

    How disgusted are Americans with data centers? A whopping 7 of 10 Americans said they would oppose a data center being built near them. Yet the Trump admin continues to give tax breaks to the Big Tech giants building them. Trump puts Big Tech before the American people.

    DHS spent $464 MILLION on a no-bid contract for 10 used jets “for deportations.” 3 of them were LUXURY BUSINESS JETS. The agency claimed they had no time to consider the price tag b/c the purchase was urgent, only to leave the planes unused for months. But they did loan one to the FBI so Kash Patel can fly. What a disgraceful waste of our money by the Trump admin.

What is Public Citizen's engagement rate on X?
Public Citizen (@Public_Citizen) has an engagement rate of 0.028%, based on the median interactions across 48 original posts from the last 30 days against 435,987 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.028%, Public Citizen sits above the 25th percentile of the 41,681 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 @Public_Citizen have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,310 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 @Public_Citizen post?
Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
