Beverly,officiallyBeverly Hills,is the 72nd of Chicago's 77community areas.Located 12 miles (19 km) from theLoop,it is on the city'sfar south side.Beverly is considered part of the Blue Island Ridge, along with the nearby community areas ofMorgan ParkandMount Greenwood,andWashington Heights,and the City ofBlue Island.As of 2020,Beverly had 20,027 inhabitants.

Sparsely settled until the late 19th century, Beverly was incorporated as part of the Village ofWashington Heightsin 1874 and began development by business interests from Chicago.[1]The area was annexed by the city of Chicago in 1890[2]and continued to grow with the completion in theRock Island Railroadthat runs parallel along the eastern edge of the Blue Island ridge to its terminus atLaSalle Street Stationin downtown Chicago. Beverly's situation along on the ridge allowed the community to become an exclusivestreetcar community,which is reflected in the homes and large lots.[3]

History[edit]

Etymology[edit]

In 1889, when theRock Island Railroadrealigned its suburban tracks, it expanded service north of 99th Street. The new station on 91st Street was named "91st Street–Beverly Hills station".[4]By the late 1910s, the telephone network established a Beverly exchange.[5]The exact significance of the name "Beverly Hills" is no longer known. Many speculate it is named afterBeverly, Massachusetts,[5]at the suggestion of Alice Helm French, a prominent resident and wife of thefirst directorof theArt Institute of Chicago,[6]or that the Rock Island Railroad simply named it after the hilly terrain.[7]It is not named afterBeverly Hills, California,which was named after the city in Massachusetts and received its name nearly 20 years after the 91st Street Station was named.[8]

19th century[edit]

Beverly and the surrounding area was sparsely populated by thePotawatomiand some white settlers until 1833, when the indigenous people forcibly ceded their land rights to the United States underIndian removal.[6]The earliest known non-indigenous inhabitants of the area were DeWitt Lane, who settled near 103rd Street and Seeley Avenue in 1832, and Norman Rexford, who opened a tavern near 91st Street and Pleasant Avenue.[9]The area famously became adry settlement,prohibiting saloons and the sale of liquor.[5]A permanent settlement was established with the sale of the land to John Blackstone in 1839.[9]In 1844, Blackstone sold the land along the Blue Island Ridge from 91st to 115th Streets to Thomas Morgan, after whomMorgan Parkis named.[10]

The transformation of the area to a suburban community began in 1869 when the descendants of Thomas Morgan sold his lands to the Blue Island Land and Building Company.[10]The area, which was at the intersection of the Rock Island Railroad and thePanhandle Route,saw a substantial period of growth sustained by Chicagoans displaced by theGreat Chicago Firein 1871.[11]It became an attractive community with the establishment of several schools in the 1870s.[6]In 1874, much of Beverly and the area to the east was incorporated as the Village of Washington Heights. In 1890, the section of modern-day Beverly north of95th Streetwasannexedto the City of Chicago. The section west ofWestern Avenueand south of 99th Street was added to Washington Heights.[12]

Beverly Hills is community area #72.[13]It is on Chicago's far south side, 12 miles (19 km) from theLoop.[5]Its northern border is 87th Street and its southern border is 107th Street. Its western border runs along Western Avenue from the northern border to 99th Street, then along Fairfield Avenue to 103rd Street, and finally along the rail line to the southern border.

Beverly is connected to theInterstatesystem viaI-57,located immediately to the east.[13]

Beverly, Morgan Park,Mount Greenwood,Washington Heights,and the City ofBlue Islandare considered part of theBlue Island Ridge.[14]The prehistoric glacial ridge was once an island in a lake and later part of its western shore. The distinct geological history is the most significant in Chicago, being the point of highest elevation at nearly 100 feet (30 m) above the water line ofLake Michigan.[15]It was named for its color, due to atmospheric conditions or its blue wildflowers.[16]As of 2018,51.3% of the total 2,038.1 acres (824.8 ha) is used for single-family housing, 2.9% for multifamily housing, 3.2% for commercial development, less than 0.1% for industrial development, 2.1% for institutional development, 0.5% for mixed-use development, and 13% is vacant lots or open space.[17]The remaining 26.9% was defined as "transportation and other".[17]

As of 2021,over three-quarters of the housing stock, 78.7%, in Beverly consists of single-family detached homes, compared to 26.1% citywide. Most of the houses were built before 1969 (45.4% between 1940 and 1969 and 46.3% before 1940).[18]The median number of rooms in an area house is 7.4, compared to 4.8 rooms citywide.[18]About 92% of the housing units were occupied.[19]Of the total number of units,[a]85.3% were owner-occupied and 14.7% were renter-occupied.[19]No multifamily buildings in the area were considered affordable according to a 2016study conducted by theU.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.[20]

Prior to European American settlement, the area was home to Potawatomi people, who in 1833, after theBlack Hawk War,were forcibly moved west of theMississippi Riverby the federal government.[23][24]Beverly's early Caucasian settlement was largely English and Protestant, but by the early 20th century, a large influx ofIrish Americansbegan to arrive in the neighborhood and the construction of severalRoman Catholicchurch parishes and business establishments saw Beverly develop into a stronghold of the city'sSouth Side Irishcommunity.

In 2020,20,027 people in 7,691 households lived in Beverly. This represents a decrease of less than 0.1% from the2010 U.S. census,which in turn had represented a 8.9% decline from the2000 U.S. census.[22]The area'sracial compositionin 2021was 55.3% white, 32.4% Black, 1.3% Asian and 3.7% other racial categories.

Seven percent of households earned less than $25,000 annually; 11.3% earned between $25,000 and $49,999; 11.6% earned between $50,000 and $74,999; 13.1% earned between $75,000 and $99,999; 20.7% earned between $100,000 and $149,999, and 36.3% earned more than $150,000. This compares with a citywide distribution of 21.8%, 18.4%, 14.9%, 11.7%, 14.7% and 18.6%, respectively.[27]As of September 2015,the westerncensus tractsin the area had a median household income of over $86,900; the eastern tracts had a median household income between $57,900 and $86,900. The entire area placed above the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's low-income limit.[28]

The hardship index is a metric used by the City of Chicago which considers six indicators of public health to quantify the relative amount of hardship in a community area: the percentage of occupied housing units with more than one person per room; the percentage of households living below thefederal poverty level;the percentage of persons in the labor force over the age of 16 years that are unemployed; the percentage of persons over the age of 25 years without a high school diploma; the percentage of the population under 18 or over 64 years of age; and per capita income. The index is represented as a score from 1 to 100, with a higher score indicating greater hardship.[29]With data from 2006 to 2010,Beverly's hardship index was 12.[30]
