What the numbers mean in Hawthorne borough
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Hawthorne borough median would spend about 18.6% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 4.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.1% of residents and 68.2% of households own their home.
