Living here
Bodås is a small locality (småort) in Hofors municipality in Gävleborg county, with 91 inhabitants.
Within three kilometres of the centre there are a railway station, a café and a B&B, Mårtens i Hästbo. No grocery shop or school is that close, so shopping probably requires a car.
The surrounding area is older than average: three in ten inhabitants are over sixty-five and one fifth is under twenty. Bodås suits someone who wants to live in a small and quiet place, with the train within reach but no shop nearby. Families with children who want a school nearby will have to look elsewhere.
