Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade Baltimore influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. It combines local audience fit, engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

25%of the score

Audience fit

How much of the audience sits in the Baltimore market. Full marks once 30% of it is there.

30%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

30%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

15%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the United States median for a creator’s own size: around 0.8% under 50K followers, around 0.6% above 250K. Both are rounded, because the study measures them by search rather than by census.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is local, not global. Here is the market behind it.

Market benchmark

The American Instagram market behind this ranking

The American Instagram study covers 929,228 accounts with at least 10K followers. This page's separate discovery pool contains 1,909 accounts; 25 were selected.

Read the United States Creator Economy Report - the measurement this chart is scored against.

How the selected 25 compare with the American Instagram market

Pink = the 25 Baltimore influencers above.

Grey = every American Instagram account we measure with at least 10,000 followers, all 929,228 of them.

Each bar is the share that clears the threshold, so a longer pink bar means more of the shortlist clears it than of the market.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These questions cover how the shortlist was built, what its numbers describe, and where the measurements stop.

01How were these Baltimore influencers selected?

We screened 1,909 Baltimore-based Instagram accounts between 20,000 and 500,000 followers for a 15% Baltimore audience, 1.5% engagement, 60% real followers, 1,000 average Reel views and a post in the last thirty days, then ranked 25 selected creators by the CA Influence Index.

02Does this ranking cover every Baltimore influencer?

No. This is an editorial selection of 25 Baltimore influencers, not an exhaustive directory. It covers accounts between 20,000 and 500,000 followers under the stated screen. The separate United States study of 929,228 Instagram creator accounts supplies the market benchmark.

03Why are venue, brand and team accounts missing?

A city search with no niche filter returns institutions and businesses as readily as creators. A university, restaurants, a cafe, a vintage market, a footwear brand media arm and product sellers were removed by hand, because none of them is an independent creator a brand can book for content.

04What does Baltimore audience share mean here?

It is the measured share of each account’s audience located in Baltimore, not a statement about where the creator lives. Across this selection the median is 31% and the range runs from 15% to 52%. Creator location was a separate filter in the query.

05Which market benchmark does the index use?

The United States Instagram study dated 15 September 2026, whose engagement medians are 0.79% for the 10,000 to 50,000 follower band and 0.56% for accounts above 250,000. Candidate measurements come from 16 September, so the two sources keep their separate dates.

06Does a high grade prove an influencer will deliver sales?

No. The score combines measured audience fit, engagement, relative Reel reach and real-audience share. It does not measure campaign sales, confirm availability or quote a rate. Review recent relevant posts and ask for campaign terms before approaching anyone on this page.
