Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 51 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Borås, 79,904 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 75,565 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
