Administrative offices, shops, the centre of arts, the sports facilities, the schools, childcare centre etc. - everything can be found within a radius of 500 m. The town's largest residential area, Haverslia, is also only a walk away from the town square.

Tynset has most of the functions of a regional centre because of its schools and hospital and many of the region's intermunicipal services have naturally been positioned in Tynset: The Family Centre, Centre for School Psychology etc.
