What it’s like
The place. Bellevue is a small village in Peoria County, with a population older than in much of the country. Household incomes run somewhat below the county's, and homes here are modest in price. Winters are cold, with snow through the season, and summers turn warm, with rain and melted snow spread across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Within the village itself, larger workplaces include Kone, FedEx and Frito-Lay. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical, and some people work from home. Across Peoria County, jobs have slipped over the past year, and unemployment is a little lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Peoria Zoo is a handy outing for visitors young and old, and Fort Crevecoeur is a historic fort with a long past. Peoria Lake is also close by, a good spot for time near the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bellevue’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 Peoria County and the Peoria, IL metro.
