The population amounts to 24,876 inhabitants. The municipality has three population centres: Lomma with 13,648 inhabitants, Bjärred with 9,852 and Flädie with about 240 inhabitants. The remaining 1,100 inhabitants live either in one of the villages of Fjelie, Önnerup, Lilla Lomma and Alnarp or in the outlying rural areas.
Prominent features include good housing standards and the nearness to Öresund which affords ample opportunities for a rich outdoor life.
