Drilling down to the city level (looking at 27 cities included in our Metro Market Study), we find the following for the years 2007-2009:
- 7.3% of volunteers in DC spent their time assisting Civic charities whereas only 3.1% help with these types of groups in Orlando.
- Educational charities are a bigger focus of volunteer efforts in L.A. (32.5%) than Orlando (22.1%).
- 6.1% of volunteers help out in Hospitals in Houston as compared to 15% in Nashville.
- Orlando’s residents (46.8%) are very focused on helping Religious causes, while San Francisco’s (24.6%) spend less time assisting in this area.
- San Diego has the highest percentage of volunteers helping with Social Service charities (17.1%) and Tampa has the least (9.4%).
- Sports/Arts causes see the highest percentage of assistance in San Francisco (5.2%) and the lowest in Cleveland (1.5%).
Finally, here are the results of our poll that we created earlier this week to find out where you volunteer.
