Community Participation in Ludlow
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Nearly a quarter of the population in Ludlow volunteers, which is well above the national figure. This high level of community spirit is matched by a strong tendency to perform unpaid housework and childcare compared to other areas.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 23.2% of residents volunteer their time, a figure that is well above both the Western Australian (15.9%) and Australian (14.1%) averages.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 28.3% of people care for children unpaid, about 26.3% spend 15 or more hours a week on housework, which is well above the national figure. However, those providing other types of unpaid care are few, at 4.0%, which is well below the state average.
