Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 41 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Växjö, 79,522 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 74,052 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
