the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 6 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Ljusdal, 8,288 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 7,125 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
