A typical post picks up 169 interactions against 2.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 57 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,774 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 13K times each, and 1.35% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.455% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 57 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 634 interactions, about 3.8x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #actforhumanity, #worldhumanitarianday, #backtoschool.

Compared with accounts its own size

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 65% 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 0.006%, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 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 Monday 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 Damascus today, I met President Ahmad Al-Sharaa to discuss the rising number of Syrians returning home, the millions still displaced, and the support needed to rebuild lives after years of conflict. A peaceful and inclusive Syria is the foundation for lasting recovery. Syrians are determined to rebuild. The international community must match that determination with sustained support, investment, and solidarity.

    9 years of lives on hold. 9 years of surviving in the camps. 9 years since the largest Rohingya refugee influx into Bangladesh. The world’s attention may have shifted, but the Rohingya refugees' need for safety and a life with dignity has not. We cannot look away. https://t.co/1DdsmDF3yG

    240,000 of the most vulnerable refugees in South Sudan could lose food assistance as soon as the end of September due to funding cuts. As millions across the country face severe hunger, refugees are being pushed to the brink. Urgent support is needed. https://t.co/0xmklmStRT

    Humanitarians are risking their lives to reach people fleeing war, conflict and persecution. They stay and deliver protection, food, medical care, shelter, aid and hope. They are not a target. Civilians are not a target. They must be protected. #ActForHumanity https://t.co/o6TgZkuToZ

    South Sudan needs support, now. For 240,000 of the most vulnerable refugees, food assistance will stop by the end of September if we don’t get additional funding. The consequences would be immediate and long-lasting, including heightened risks of malnutrition, and exploitation and abuse of women and children. This is happening amid one of the world’s deepest hunger crises, as more than 7.8 million people in South Sudan face acute food insecurity. We urgently need funding to keep lifesaving assistance going. If you’re able, please donate today: https://t.co/awY7d1LUCC

    Don’t forget Sudan. That’s the message Sudanese refugee students asked Goodwill Ambassador Wenyen Gabriel to carry with him. He promised to share their stories with the world. From fleeing violence to finding safety in South Sudan, these students are determined to keep learning despite immense challenges. Listen to their voices.
