The white population percentage has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 75% and 79% from 2013 to 2022. The Hispanic population showed a slight increase from 9% in 2013 to 11% in 2020, before returning to 9% in 2022. The Asian population increased slightly from 6% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. The Black population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 4% and 7% throughout the decade. The population identifying as two or more races increased from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022.
These demographic shifts have not been substantial enough to change the area's "Low Diversity" classification. However, the gradual increases in Hispanic, Asian, and mixed-race populations may indicate the beginning of a long-term trend towards slightly increased diversity. The median income in Hawthorne has fluctuated over the past decade, peaking at $118,330 in 2015 and $118,549 in 2019. There was a notable decrease to $110,263 in 2018, followed by a recovery.

The population has experienced fluctuations, increasing from 4,894 in 2013 to a peak of 5,103 in 2019, followed by a decline to 4,715 in 2022. These economic trends do not appear to strongly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed. The area has maintained its high-income status throughout the decade, despite small changes in racial composition.
Hawthorne's "White Majority" status and "Low Diversity" classification are less common in the broader New York metropolitan area, which is known for its high diversity. The median income in Hawthorne is significantly higher than the national average, indicating that this is a particularly affluent area within the region. The slight increases in Hispanic, Asian, and mixed-race populations, though small, align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The recent population decline since 2019 could be related to broader trends seen in some suburban areas during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
In conclusion, Hawthorne (10532) has experienced minor demographic shifts over the past decade but remains a predominantly white, affluent area with low diversity. The subtle changes observed might indicate the beginning of a very gradual trend towards increased diversity, but this would need to be monitored over a longer period to confirm. The area's high median income has remained a constant feature, seemingly unaffected by the minor demographic changes observed.
