Community Participation in Bakers Hill
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
Only 10.8% of people volunteer in Bakers Hill, which is much lower than most similar areas. This low level of community volunteering stands out against a higher tendency for residents to take on heavy housework burdens. It is a place where fewer people provide unpaid childcare than the state or national figures.
