From 2013 to 2022, North West Hawthorne transitioned from a Hispanic Majority to a Hispanic Plurality community, maintaining a Majority-Minority status.

This economic growth coincides with the increase in Asian residents and racial diversity. The population fluctuated over the decade, peaking at 9,951 in 2015 before declining to 7,656 in 2022. This population decrease, combined with rising incomes, may indicate a gentrification process.
