What it’s like

The place. Bellvue is a small community in Larimer County, in northern Colorado, close to the foothills of the Front Range. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value is high by national standards. Household incomes are fairly strong, and the population skews toward middle age, so many residents are settled in family and working life.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in professional and business services. Retail, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment, also employ a good share of people. Unemployment across the county has risen from a year earlier, and the number of jobs slipped slightly in the most recent year.

Things to do. Rocky Mountain National Park is a national park a longer drive away, and it is one of the best known places in the region. Roosevelt National Forest, a protected area a short drive away, offers forested land for walking and time outdoors. Comanche Reservoir, also a short drive off, is a reservoir for a quiet day by the water. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm, so the seasons shape what most people do outside.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Larimer 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 Larimer County and the Fort Collins, CO metro.
