What it’s like
The place. Dover is a small city in Tuscarawas County, with a population somewhat older than much of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Union Hospital Association and Dover City Schools are the town's largest workplaces, and Allied Machine and Engineering, which makes tools for machine tools, is another major employer. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly. Commutes are fairly ordinary in length, and a modest number of people work from home.
Things to do. Sugar Creek runs in or beside town, and Conotton Creek is a short drive away for time near the water. Fort Laurens, a museum on the site of an old frontier fort, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dover’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
