What it’s like
The place. Bellaire is a small village on the Ohio River in Belmont County, and it is among the smaller communities in the area. Incomes here run well below the county's, and poverty is more common than in most places. Homeowners are a modest majority, and homes are relatively affordable. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm in July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. The largest workplaces in Bellaire include Bellaire Local Schools, LaRoche Tree Service and MPR Sand Terminals. Across Belmont County, unemployment has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly. Most people commute a moderate distance, and only a small number work from home.
Things to do. In or beside town, the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum and the Imperial Glass Company museum are both close at hand. A short drive away, Grave Creek Mound is an archaeological site, and Oglebay Park is a garden worth a visit in the warmer months. For a longer outing, Meadowcroft Rockshelter is a museum a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- LightningRelatively high
- Inland floodingRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bellaire’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Belmont County and the Wheeling, WV-OH metro.
