What it’s like
The place. Belleville is a village in Dane County, Wisconsin, on the southern edge of the Madison area. Its people are younger than in many small towns, and household incomes sit a little below the county's. Few residents live below the poverty line, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in manufacturing, or in the building trades. The Belleville School District is one of the largest workplaces in the village, along with Federal Industries and Sico North America. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and a fair number of people work from home. Commutes are of moderate length, and unemployment across Dane County has stayed low.
Things to do. Library Park, in or beside the village, is the nearest green space, and the West Branch Sugar River also runs in or beside town. New Glarus Woods State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is the closest place for a longer walk. Lake Monona and Lake Mendota, among the area's best known lakes, are a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Dane County, 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 Dane County and the Madison, WI metro.
