Demographics
Truskolasy-Wola is a relatively small rural settlement, typical of many villages in the Polish countryside.

Specific population figures fluctuate with census data, but it generally maintains a stable, close-knit community.
Etymology
The name "Wola" is a very common element in Polish place names. It often denotes a settlement founded under a "wola," which refers to a specific privilege or exemption, typically from taxes or feudal duties, granted by a landowner to new settlers. This suggests that Truskolasy-Wola, or at least its "Wola" component, may have originated under such historical conditions, possibly as an offshoot or new settlement associated with the existing Truskolasy locality.
