Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 19 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Kungälv, 33,694 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 28,912 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
