Community Participation in Sunset Strip
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A higher share of residents now spend their time on housework and child care than in other similar areas, which defines the community spirit in Sunset Strip. While volunteering is slightly more common here than in the state average, the most striking feature is the high level of unpaid domestic work.
