Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 10 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Mariestad, 16,771 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 16,750 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
