Zetland · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Community Participation in Zetland
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Fewer than 10% of people in Zetland volunteer, a figure that is well below both the state and national averages. This reflects a broader pattern in the area where residents are much less likely to provide unpaid care or do significant housework compared to other parts of the country.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 9.7% of people here volunteer, which is much lower than most other areas and well below the Australian figure of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid care is very uncommon here; only 4.5% of residents provide this support, and just 12.4% care for children unpaid, which is far below the New South Wales average of 25.3%. This is consistent with the fact that people doing 15 or more hours of housework (10.9%) are also among the lowest at this level.
