What it’s like
The place. Pine Island is a very small community in Hernando County, on Florida's Gulf Coast. Neighbors tend to know one another well in a place this quiet. Winters are mild here, and summers are hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, or in the building trades. Work in the county has been a little harder to find lately than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. The Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a short drive away, and Weeki Wachee Springs, also a protected area, is likewise a short drive off. The Weeki Wachee River runs in or beside town, so it is close at hand for paddling and watching the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pine Island’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Hernando County and the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL metro.
