Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 2 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Färgelanda, 2,642 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 1,938 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
