Ballarat's Community Engagement Woes: Examining the Alarming Lack of Participation in Local Events
The proportion of people who reported that they did not attend a local community event, such as a school concert or craft exhibition, in the past 6 months on the Victorian Population Health Survey.The data on poor community participation could be useful for property investors and those looking to move as it provides insight into the livability of a suburb. A low participation rate in community events may indicate a lack of community spirit and social cohesion, which could impact the overall quality of life in the area. For example, families with children may prioritize suburbs with active community events and opportunities for socializing, while retirees may prefer quieter areas with less emphasis on community events. Additionally, businesses may consider this data when deciding where to establish themselves, as a lack of community participation could indicate a less engaged customer base. Overall, this data can provide valuable information for those looking to make informed decisions about where to live or invest. Data from 2016
