Dale County, AL

Fort Rucker, Alabama has about 4,705 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

The Census Bureau did not publish a typical home value here.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Dale County is $921 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Fort Rucker. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Alabama's prices sit at 88.8 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Alabama taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 9.5% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Fort Rucker's exact store tax.

Some places in Alabama add a local wage tax. In 2023 the state average was about 0.07% of income. That is not a Fort Rucker bill.
