For a long time, Susort was a place where people moved away from, until more recently. The large Kårstø industrial site and the Kårstø Power Station both lie just 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) southeast of Susort, and since that area was developed in the 1980s, many houses have been built in Susort to house the people who work nearby.^[2]
