Living here
Ormaryd is a built-up area in Nässjö municipality in the Småland highlands with 223 inhabitants, in Norra Solberga parish. The village lies between the railway town Nässjö and the old trading town Eksjö, and regained its status as a built-up area in 2015, when the population again exceeded two hundred.
The railway runs a couple of minutes' walk from the houses, and the village has its own railway station, also a couple of minutes' walk away. Sjunnarydssjön is about as near, and the forest right up against the houses. Four registered contaminated sites are in the area, the nearest a couple of minutes' walk from the centre. A power line is within walking distance but not close.
Otherwise everyday life requires a car. A grocery shop and a school are for most people a car journey away, and a restaurant, a café and a library likewise. The village has a church, Ormaryds bygdegård och samhällsförening and Ormaryds Idrottsförening, which plays football.
To Nässjö, with just under nineteen thousand inhabitants, it takes a quarter of an hour by car, and Eksjö, with a little over eleven thousand, is also a car journey away. To Göteborg it is two and a half hours, to Malmö four and to Stockholm four and a half.
The surrounding area has an even age distribution, with about one in four under twenty and as many over sixty-four. Ormaryd suits someone who wants to live in a small place with the railway station nearby and two towns within driving distance. Someone who wants a shop and a school nearby will have to look elsewhere.
