the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 2 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Bengtsfors, 3,027 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 3,102 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
