the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 2 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Ockelbo, 3,111 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 2,901 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
driving timeFrom here and away
