the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 4 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Filipstad, 5,846 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 5,970 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
