Hey folks, The unemployment rate is 5.4%, which is about average. With a population of 85,933, Hawthorne is a smaller city. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Worth the trade-offs? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 13 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the Fairview side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
