the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 5 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Gnesta, 8,246 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 6,472 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
