A typical home in Dover

What lights cost on the usual Dover house

Dover is mostly single-family: about 98% of homes are 1-unit, 1% are in 2 to 4 unit buildings and 1% in buildings of 5 or more units. Median build year is 1970 and 98% of homes are owner-occupied. House style is not in the census data, so the frontage and roofline below are our estimate for a typical single-family house here, not a measurement.

Example, not a quote. Frontage and roofline are our estimates for this house type; the census figures are from U.S. Census Bureau ACS via Census Reporter (5-year 2024, i.e. 2020-2024); single-family = 1-unit detached + attached.
