Community Participation in Louth Park
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Much higher rates of unpaid care define Louth Park compared to the rest of the state. While 17.4% of people volunteer, the most striking figures are found in the home, where child care and housework are far more common than the national average.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 17.4% of people in Louth Park volunteer, which is well above the national figure of 14.1%. However, this is down 7.8 percentage points from 2011.

Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid work is very common here, with 35.4% of people caring for children, which is far above the New South Wales figure. This high level of care is seen elsewhere too, as 15.1% provide general unpaid care and 30.2% do 15 or more hours of housework weekly.
