Dover CDP, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dover CDP is a small town in Florida, with 3,157 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #584 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Dover CDP earn a median of $42,222 a year, 46.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 35.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dover CDP is valued at $215,500, 29% below the national figure and 29% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $840 a month, 40.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 56.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
