Pine Ridge – DeKalb County

A Pine Ridge listing can tell you about one home, while a town profile describes a much broader group over time. Use the boundary and housing estimates here to understand that distinction, then move to the parcel record for the property you are considering.

What area does this Pine Ridge profile cover?

Pine Ridge is an incorporated town in DeKalb County. The map uses the 2024 Census place boundary, GEOID 0160372. The estimates below refer to that defined geography, rather than every address that may use the same community name.

Treat the outline as a dated geographic reference, not a current parcel survey, school-attendance boundary or utility service map. Town identity and county property administration are different layers: a county record can help identify a parcel, but it does not settle every municipal or provider question.

Where can I start researching a Pine Ridge property?

The Alabama Department of Revenue county-office directory provides the appropriate county route. DeKalb’s online appraisal and assessment search is linked in the directory; the revenue office is 256-845-8515.

Start with the parcel identifier and compare it with the home being considered. A tax or appraisal record serves a different purpose from a boundary survey, project permit, school assignment or utility account. Keep the parcel details with the question when contacting the responsible office rather than relying on the town name alone.

The DeKalb County guide explains the limits of tax mapping and separates school-enrollment routes from electricity, water and gas questions.

Turn the area information into a home-search next step

Use the map to orient yourself and the facts to understand the limits of the statistical picture. Then compare actual homes by their condition, access, documented services and the destinations you use. Those property-level facts—not a small difference between uncertain estimates—should drive the shortlist.

Explore the Pine Ridge area home search. This map-based search may extend beyond the town boundary; it does not guarantee a complete inventory or establish service eligibility.

Formula: 100*(B25070_007E+B25070_008E+B25070_009E+B25070_010E)/(B25070_001E-B25070_011E). Numerator: 29; denominator: 50.

Published 90% margin of error: +/-7.1 minutes. Survey travel time is not a current traffic estimate or a route to a named employer.

Source data

The notes above identify the source and period separately for each current measure. The explanation below retains useful context from the previous ACS 2020-2024 profile. Any ACS population values mentioned below refer to that survey series, and are distinct from Population Estimates Program figures where those newer estimates are available above.

The 2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates combine 2020–2024. They are not a current headcount or forecast. Each margin of error below is the published 90% margin for that specific estimate.

The total housing estimate is 208 units with a margin of error of 108. The vacancy estimate is 23 with a margin of error of 23. That uncertainty matters: these figures are community context, not a precise inventory from which to infer how many homes are available or how quickly they will sell.

Occupied and vacant units divide estimated housing stock; owner-occupied and renter-occupied units divide occupied housing. “Vacant” does not mean listed for sale or available to rent. Use these estimates as dated context, not a ranking of communities or a conclusion about affordability, suitability or investment performance.

The Census accuracy guide explains sampling uncertainty and the 90% confidence level. No percentages or combined margins are calculated here. Geography follows the 2024 Census geography definitions.

Population: 2024 ACS five-year profile DP05; housing: profile DP04. Period: 2020–2024. This is a geographic, statistical and property-record starting point, not a current directory of facility hours or local service availability.

Where can you start a Pine Ridge municipal enquiry?

DeKalb Tourism’s relocation directory lists Pine Ridge Town Hall at 256-845-1183. Use that town contact to ask which office handles the specific address or proposed activity, and confirm office arrangements before making a trip. The listing supplies a contact route; it does not establish utility coverage, public recreation hours or a town-hall entrance location. Pine Ridge in DeKalb County is distinct from the same-named Limestone County community and from Pine Ridge, South Carolina.
