Effective November 14, 2006, Dover Township was officially renamed Toms River Township. According to Ocean County Library’s Dover Township Community Profile:



Before the 2000 census, considerable confusion arose from the Toms River Census Designated Place or CDP. The Census defined the Toms River CDP as only it the immediate downtown area…. For the 2000 census, local and state government officials requested that the Toms River CDP be redefined. The United States Census agreed with the proviso that a census designated place may not have the same geographical boundaries as a municipality. Now the new Toms River CDP is defined as all of Dover Township except for the two small areas on the barrier island flanking the town of Lavallette and the Dover Township section of Pelican Island.

3. What types of households are there in your community?
According to the United States Census Bureau, a household is defined as all of the people who occupy a single housing unit as their usual place of residence.
Households are classified by type according to the sex of the primary householder (in whose name the house is owned, being bought, or rented) and the presence of relatives who are related to him or her by birth, marriage, or adoption.
Nonfamily householders are defined as those living alone or with nonrelatives only.

6. Does your community experience large fluctuations in population during different seasons?
The coastal beaches of Ocean County are a main attraction and draw thousands of seasonal visitors to the area each year. This is a main reason why our community experiences large fluctuations in different seasons.

Ocean County is located 50 miles (80 km) east of Philadelphia, PA, 70 miles (110 km) south of New York, NY and 25 miles (40 km) north of Atlantic City, NJ, making it a prime destination for residents of these cities during the summer. Typical of the Jersey Shore, summer traffic routinely clogs local roadways throughout the season.

There are many varieties of tourists to the Ocean County area. They range from day trippers who enjoy the boardwalks and walking the beaches to people who rent houses for the entire summer. 

For more information, please see the Ocean County tourism website (www.oceancountygov.com)

2. Approximately how many home-schooled students are there in your community?
According to Homeschooling in New Jersey,
New Jersey law states that “parents have a constitutional rite to choose the type and character of education they feel is best suited for their children.” To comply with this law, homeschooling parents must insure that all children between the ages of six and sixteen receive instruction equivalent to that provided in the public schools.
http://www.homeschoolinginnewjersey.com/gettingstarted/legal/statelaws.aspx

Despite its legality in our state, a variety of factors – including fear of criticism and negative public opinion – have resulted in uneven reporting among homeschooling families. Accurate local statistics are difficult to obtain via state or federal educational sources.
A report issued by the National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) in 2007 estimated the number of children aged 5-17 being homeschooled in the United States as 1,508,000 – or 2.9% of the K-12 population. Of these, approximately 85% (1,281,800 children) were reported as “homeschooled only” – in other words, receiving education solely at home with no part-time enrollment in any outside educational institution.
