the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 15 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Sandviken, 24,560 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 24,827 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
Modelled car route (MOTIS), not a navigator's ETA — the figures run systematically high but are comparable between localities. Destinations not listed are more than six hours away.
