Engagement
A typical post picks up 839 interactions against 1.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.051%. Measured over 18 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 3,791 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 50K times each, and 1.69% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.04% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.6 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 18 posts sampled, 72% carry an image or video and 72% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 89K interactions, about 106x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #freedom250grandprix, #nationaldogmonth, #coastguard236.

Compared with accounts its own size
U.S. Secret Service's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 72% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 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.

America, it's time to celebrate! At President Donald J. Trump's direction, gates to the National Mall will reopen at 9:45 PM. The Salute to America celebration will move forward, the President will deliver remarks at 11:00 PM, and the fireworks spectacular will follow. Rain or shine, the American people deserve a celebration worthy of our nation's historic 250th birthday. For 250 years, Americans have overcome every challenge with grit, resilience, and determination. A little rain will never diminish our pride, our patriotism, or our celebration of the greatest nation in the history of the world.

- What is U.S. Secret Service's engagement rate on X?
- U.S. Secret Service (@SecretService) has an engagement rate of 0.051%, based on the median interactions across 18 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,627,802 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.051%, U.S. Secret Service sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 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 @SecretService have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 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 @SecretService post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.6 posts per day across the measured window.
