Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 21 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Karlskrona, 36,244 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 36,423 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
