Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 43 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Halmstad, 82,386 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 72,979 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
