What the numbers mean in Dover town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Dover town median would spend about 29.5% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 2.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 33.2% of residents and 64.7% of households own their home.
