Community Participation in Burton
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
More than a third of people in Burton provide unpaid childcare, which is a much higher rate than seen in most other areas. This is the standout feature of local community life, despite a very low number of people spending their time volunteering.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Only 7.7% of residents volunteer their time. This is well below the national figure of 14.1% and among the lowest rates for similar areas.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 33.5% of people provide unpaid childcare—well above the South Australian figure of 26.5%—only 18.5% do 15 or more hours of housework weekly. General unpaid care for others is at 12.2%, which is about the same as the national average.
