I grew up in Beverly. It's an Irish Catholic enclave. "Integrated" is not a word I would choose for it.

You're right to call out that previous commenter doesn't seem to know anything about Chicago neighborhoods; how else could you claim someone was "gentrifying" Beverly? But I wouldn't call out Beverly as a bastion of racial equity. My Black friends couldn't walk with me down the street after dark, in the 1990s, without us getting fucked with by passing cars. I doubt it's that much better now.

"Bronzeville-adjacent" is a very funny way of describing it; like saying Tacoma is Capitol Hill-adjacent.
