Living here
Rosshyttan is a small locality in Sala municipality in Västmanland County, with 76 inhabitants. The range of services is very small. Within three kilometres of the centre are a playground and two green areas, Rosstorps naturreservat and Rosshyttan Ruin, as well as a sports facility, Arena Avesta. No grocery shop, school or restaurant is mentioned, so all of everyday life requires a car.
The surrounding area has a mixed age distribution: just under one in five is under twenty, almost one in four is between twenty and forty-four, a little over one in four is between forty-five and sixty-four and almost one in three is over sixty-five.
Rosshyttan suits someone who wants to live in a small place close to nature and has a car for everything. Someone who wants services or neighbours within walking distance will have to look elsewhere.
