Families with children are a defining feature of Lammermoor, where the proportion of children under 15 is well above the national figure. This is a relatively young community with a typical resident aged 38, which helps explain why homes are often large and households are more crowded than usual. Most people here earn significantly more than the typical Australian, contributing to a more affluent character within the region.

Lammermoor has many young families but fewer schools per child than most areas.
