Hawthorne CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hawthorne CDP is a small town in New York, with 4,881 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #363 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 42.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 CDP earn a median of $134,797 a year, 71.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 47% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York 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 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hawthorne CDP is valued at $671,300, 121.3% above the national figure and 113% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,501 a month, 149% above the national figure, or roughly $42,012 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 86.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
