Living in Andover



Andover is a tiny borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 601 people and four associated neighborhoods, Andover is the 497th largest community in New Jersey.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.01% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Because of many things, Andover is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Andover a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The borough’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Andover has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Andover’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

One downside of living in Andover is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Andover, the average commute to work is 34.88 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Andover is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 41.75% of adults in Andover have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.

The per capita income in Andover in 2022 was $37,282, which is low income relative to New Jersey, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $149,128 for a family of four. However, Andover contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
