Hawthorne city, FL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hawthorne city is a small town in Florida, with 1,603 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #718 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 24% of them. The median age here is 38.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Hawthorne city earn a median of $53,143 a year, 32.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hawthorne city is valued at $136,500, 55% below the national figure and 55% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $721 a month, 48.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,652 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
