Community Participation in Hampshire
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Few people in Hampshire have stepped up to volunteer recently, as only 6.3% do so. This low level of community involvement stands out against a much higher national rate of 14.1%.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
Volunteering is far less common here than in the rest of Tasmania, with a rate that is 12 percentage points lower than the state figure.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
While 25% of people provide unpaid childcare—about the same as the national figure—unpaid care for others is much higher than most areas at 16.7%. This happens despite a much lower proportion of people doing over 15 hours of housework compared to the rest of the country.
