Community Participation in Woodstock
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Far more people provide unpaid care in Woodstock (L) than in the rest of the state. While 19.3% of residents give unpaid care, this is well above the New South Wales figure of 11.5%. This high level of care is partly driven by the number of people doing housework, though fewer people here care for children unpaid.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering has dropped significantly in the area, falling 14 percentage points since 2011 to 14.4%. This is lower than most similar areas, though it remains a little above the New South Wales figure of 13.0%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Unpaid work is common here, with 30.9% of people doing at least 15 hours of housework, which is far above the national figure of 20.7%. Meanwhile, those caring for children unpaid have fallen to 14.7%, a rate far below both the state and national averages.
