Vellore is served by Vaughan Public Libraries, the library of all of Vaughan, so the figures here are the city’s, for 344,930 people. 3.8 items per person served went out on loan in 2024. Like every Ontario library, it reports one typical week of visits, and the year is that week times 52: an estimate.

463 registered charities are based in Vaughan, by mailing address
There is no count for Vellore on its own: the charities are those of all of Vaughan. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.3; the median is 1.4 for Ontario towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. Charities are placed by mailing address, which flatters service towns whose post office serves a region and undercounts suburbs and rural municipalities.
32.1%
Formal volunteering is measured only for the province: 32.1% of Ontario’s people in 2023, give or take (31.0% to 33.2%), with the provinces between 25.2% and 40.3%.
