What it’s like
The place. Bellevue is a very small Texas town in Clay County, home to only a modest number of people. Most adults do not hold a four-year degree, and almost no one works from home, so daily life is tied closely to jobs done in person. Typical home values sit well below what many Americans would expect to pay for a house.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in farming, forestry and mining. Across Clay County, some of the biggest workplaces are Howmet - Wichita Falls, which works in nonferrous metal foundries, Henrietta ISD, and Triangle Brick Company. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment is about where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Lake Arrowhead State Park is the best known nearby place, a park on a reservoir a longer drive away. The Little Wichita River and Lake Arrowhead are also a longer drive away, for walks and time by the water. Winters are cool with very little snow, and summers get hot, so spring and fall are easy seasons for getting out.

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 Clay County and the Wichita Falls, TX metro.
