Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 8 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Skoghall, 15,530 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 14,610 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
