Dover, Massachusetts has about 2,308 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $1,308,300.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in this town's area (Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH HUD Metro FMR Area) is $3,008 a month. That rate runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

In the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metro area, prices sit at 108.3 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.

Massachusetts taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 6.3% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Dover's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical Massachusetts home paid 30.49¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Dover's bill.

In 2025, all-grades gas in Massachusetts averaged $3.13 a gallon. EIA prints this yearly price for only some states.
