York County, not Dover
York County context, not Dover figures
These are York County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dover measurements.
- Establishments in York County8,840
- Employment at those establishments, York County176,202
- Covered employment, York County182,614
- Average annual pay, York County$62,427
- Average weekly wage, York County$1,201
- Housing units permitted, York County1,335
- Of those, single family, York County952
- County product, 2024, York County$28,433,485,000
- County product change over the prior year, York County4.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, York County$62,924
Every figure in this section is published for York County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dover. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Dover questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Dover, Pennsylvania?
1,940, in 785 households. Dover borough covers 0.54 square miles of land, which is 3,575 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Dover in?
York County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Dover?
$75,347. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $206,200. Median gross rent is $1,168 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Dover businesses?
14 7(a) approvals totalling $6.8 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $50,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $712,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Dover, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Dover borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Dover. only 3 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Dover in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Dover appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420920, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Dover figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for York County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Dover.
Is zoning published for Dover?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
