Community Participation in Montville
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A much higher proportion of people in Montville contribute to their community than in most similar areas. About a quarter of residents volunteer, and the area has a notably strong history of military service. This high level of engagement is paired with a tendency to spend more time on unpaid domestic work.
