the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 3 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Henån, 4,027 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 2,394 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
