As of 2010. I imagine the demographic shift has not gone in a good direction since then: At the 2010 census Hawthorne had a population of 84,293.

The racial makeup of Hawthorne was

27,678 (32.8%) White
(10.3% Non-Hispanic White)
,23,385 (27.7%) African American
565 (0.7%) Native American
974 (1.2%) Pacific Islander
22,127 (26.3%) from other races
3,922 (4.7%) from two or more races
There were 44,572 people of Hispanic or Latino origin, of any race (52.9%)

Few felons are arrested in LA these days and ever fewer are tried and convicted.

Hawthorne is a must to avoid area, but back in the 1950s through early 70’s, it was the American dream bedroom community. It’s where The Beach Boys grew up. Now it’s basically turning into Inglewood as Inglewood keeps spreading East and south. I think the southern part of Hawthorn is safer, but still kind of boring.

When they put in the 105 Freeway right through the town, it was basically curtains for the city of Hawthorn. They even tore down The Beach Boys old family house to put in an off-ramp.

With all of that said, if shopping, it’s best to just stick to the beach communities south of LAX.
