Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 13 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Ystad, 23,012 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 21,259 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
