About the place

Living here

Hermans is a small locality in Sala municipality in Västmanland county with 113 inhabitants.

Within three kilometres of the middle of the village, however, lies Sala with three grocery stores, Willys and ICA Kvantum among them, a hospital, two health centres, a pharmacy, a library and a train station. This means that much of the service that is otherwise missing in a small village is close, but it is Sala's range and not the village's own.

The area around the village has a mixed age structure: about a quarter are under twenty and a fifth over sixty-five. Hermans suits those who want to live in a small place but have a town within cycling distance. Those who want services in their own village will not find them here.

Draft. Based on a place profile from Lantmäteriet, SCB, OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia and the municipality's register of associations. To be reviewed before publication.
