What it’s like
The place. Belleville is a small city and the seat of Republic County in north-central Kansas. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Incomes run a little below the county's, and the population is somewhat older than the median for the nation's younger towns, though not markedly so.
Work. Many residents work in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in transport, warehousing and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Belleville are Great Plains of Republic, a critical access hospital, Reinke Manufacturing Co, which makes irrigation equipment, and Republic County Schools. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The best known nearby place is the Pawnee Indian Museum State Historic Site, an archaeological site a longer drive away. Lovewell Reservoir, also a longer drive away, is a reservoir for time on the water, and the Brown Grand Theatre is a theatre in the same range. Winters are cold with some snow, and summers turn hot, so the seasons shape how people spend their time outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Belleville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Republic County.
