Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 19 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Falkenberg, 33,255 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 29,671 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
