Kapooka Uranquinty

Uranquinty and Kapooka are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Uranquinty is an older community where the typical resident is 39 and 17.1% are aged 65 or over. It has more homeowners, with 34.5% owning their homes outright. In contrast, Kapooka is far younger, with a typical age of 23. It is almost entirely composed of renters (100%) and has a massive connection to the military, with 81.3% of people having served in the Defence Force. Residents in Kapooka are also more likely to have completed Year 12 (77.1%) and earn $3,000 or more a week (37.3%).

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with the gaps between them shifting. Both are now almost entirely made up of separate houses and have very similar unemployment rates. They also share an identical lack of recent overseas arrivals and people who speak little or no English. While they sit side-by-side, life is different in each; Uranquinty has more people providing unpaid care and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, whereas Kapooka has a much higher proportion of people who moved here in the last five years.
