# Community Participation — Birganbigil

How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.

Area: Birganbigil (Suburb / Locality)

One in four people in Birganbigil volunteer, a rate much higher than most similar areas. This strong spirit of helping out stands in contrast to lower rates of unpaid care for children and other people compared to the state and national figures.

Volunteering is very common here, with 25.0% of people helping out. This is far above the New South Wales figure of 13.0% and the Australian average of 14.1%.

While 25.0% of people do 15 or more hours of unpaid housework—well above the national figure—only 8.3% provide unpaid care, which is much lower than most areas. Similarly, the 20.8% of people caring for children unpaid is well below the Australian average of 26.3%.

No one in this area has served in the Defence Force, which is a little below the New South Wales figure of 2.3%.
