Skotterud sits about 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of the town of Kongsvinger and about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) northwest of the village of Magnor which sits just inside the border with Sweden.[3]

The 1.51-square-kilometre (370-acre) village has a population (2021) of 1,360 and a population density of 903 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,340/sq mi).[1]

The village is located about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from Sweden, so there is some commercial and tourist traffic in the village. The local industry is heavily associated with forestry, including some sawmills and other timber-related businesses.[3]
