Measured over 48 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 3,882 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 31K times each, and 0.488% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.05% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 48 posts sampled, 38% carry an image or video, 17% are part of a thread and 19% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 79x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Charles V Payne's engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 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 32% 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.

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.

    Thanks to everyone who checked in on me. I just got back from an amazing family vacation in Scotland. Stayed at Balmoral & Gleneagles. Great people, great history, great food; overall wonderful (except United Airlines). I have some things to do tomorrow, then I'm back on the show Wednesday and yes...I'm pumped!

What is Charles V Payne's engagement rate on X?
Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 48 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,031,121 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.015%, Charles V Payne 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 @cvpayne have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 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 @cvpayne post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.1 posts per day across the measured window.
