Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 15 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Karlskoga, 27,959 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 27,261 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
