Living in Andover


Andover is a tiny borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 610 people and four associated neighborhoods, Andover is the 497th largest community in New Jersey. Andover has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.

Of important note, Andover is also a borough of artists. Andover has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Andover’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.57% 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.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
