Living here
Kölsta is a small locality (småort) in Köping municipality in Västmanland County, with 54 inhabitants on a small area. Within about three kilometres there are no services, neither a grocery shop, school, health centre nor café, so everything in daily life requires a car.
The surrounding area is older than the average: just over a quarter are over sixty-five, and just under a quarter are under twenty. Kölsta suits those who want to live very quietly and are used to distances, and suits less well those who want something within walking distance.
