Community Participation in Ophir
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a quarter of people in Ophir spend 15 or more hours a week on unpaid housework. This is a standout figure for the area, though other forms of community contribution, like volunteering and caring for others, are much lower than the national figures.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 9.7% of residents volunteer, which is much lower than most areas and well below the national figure of 14.1%.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
