The municipality attracts a mix of young families looking to escape the bustle of Hasselt, commuters making use of the nearby road connections, and people who consciously choose a small-scale living environment with a strong local community spirit. Herk-de-Stad has its own town centre, primary schools, and sports facilities, making it a fully self-sufficient place to live for families without needing to travel to a larger city for every daily need.
