In contrast, Kapooka is far younger with a typical age of 23 and almost no seniors. The two areas differ sharply in their makeup; 81.3% of Kapooka residents have served in the Defence Force compared to 4.7% in Glenfield Park, which helps explain why 87.9% of Kapooka's workforce is in public administration and safety.
