Community Participation in Alexandra Hills
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A much higher share of people provide unpaid childcare in Alexandra Hills compared to the rest of the country. While 30.9% of residents care for children unpaid, the area has seen a decline in other types of community involvement.
