Compared with accounts its own size
U.S. Department of Justice's engagement rate beats 56% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 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 57% 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 19:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald for @SDNYnews on Luigi Mangione's guilty plea today: “He stands convicted in federal court and faces life in prison. While the defendant pleaded guilty, our office does not have a plea agreement with him. Instead, he pleaded open, which means he pleaded guilty to all pending counts in the indictment. There are no accommodations or concessions, and we are free to seek the maximum penalty under the law… The results achieved today now allow our office to seek the maximum penalty allowed — life imprisonment.”

A former U.S. Government employee pleaded guilty yesterday to attempting to provide classified information to a foreign government. “U.S. government employees entrusted with our nation’s secrets must always protect our nation’s security, not cavalierly toss aside this responsibility out of disagreement, selfishness or greed,” said @AGToddBlanche. “Laatsch faces serious consequences for violating his position of trust. This case shows that if you unlawfully disclose national defense information, we will find you and hold you accountable to the fullest extent the law allows.” Read more: https://t.co/JNfFRSKkgg

As one of his first actions as Attorney General, @AGToddBlanche today finalized a federal regulation and launched a new process allowing eligible individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms to apply for restoration of their federal firearm rights. “The Second Amendment is not a second-class right, and the federal government should not permanently deprive Americans of a constitutional right without regard to whether they pose a danger to public safety,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “This rule establishes a rigorous, commonsense process that protects the public while giving deserving Americans a real path to restoration.” Read more: https://t.co/LZwwLjwNBP

- What is U.S. Department of Justice's engagement rate on X?
- U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) has an engagement rate of 0.019%, based on the median interactions across 73 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,397,176 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.019%, U.S. Department of Justice sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,701 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 @TheJusticeDept have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 56% 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 @TheJusticeDept post?
- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 6.1 posts per day across the measured window.
