Continued expansion places the village among Wisconsin's fastest-growing municipalities.
How we reported this
Belleville reached a population of 2,765 in 2024. That marks a 10.85 percent rise since 2020. The village sits in Dane and Green counties and belongs to the Madison statistical area. Madison ranks as the state's political center and its second-largest economic region after Milwaukee. Growth has lifted demand for local services and infrastructure.
Officials track these shifts through regular financial reports. Those documents lay out how the village manages public resources while service needs climb. The same reports place Belleville among the quicker-expanding municipalities in Wisconsin when measured against overall state population trends. The rise brings more residents who draw on roads, parks, utilities and other shared facilities already in place. Reports help show residents how budgets align spending with these day-to-day requirements.
Local employers and sectors
Retail, healthcare and manufacturing form the core of the economy. Duluth Trading leads the employer list with 175 workers. The Belleville Area School District follows at 141 employees. Federal Industries ranks third with 120 staff. Other listed employers include UW Health, Kwik Trip and Anderson Custom Processing. The village supports 58 businesses in total. Figures exclude seasonal positions. The employer roster appears alongside other community indicators on the village site. It shows how the main sectors sustain jobs even as population climbs. Local leaders watch these numbers to match staffing and facilities with resident needs. Larger workforces at the top employers contribute steady activity in retail outlets, school operations and production facilities throughout the area.
These employment figures give a snapshot of where people find work close to home. The presence of multiple sizable employers helps keep activity distributed across different parts of the local economy rather than concentrated in one area.
Income and poverty indicators
Median household income stands at $84,474. The poverty rate registers at 1.98 percent. Median property value reaches $253,900. Median age sits at 35.6. These markers sit above the national household income median of $69,021 and below the national poverty average. Village reports present the data to show how growth intersects with resident finances and service planning. Higher median income levels mean many households have resources that support local spending on goods and services. The low poverty rate indicates fewer residents rely on assistance programs compared with national patterns.
Readers can examine the full set of figures on the demographic page maintained by the village. Updates there help track whether rising population continues to align with steady employment and income levels across the community. The combination of income, poverty and property value data offers context for how the village's financial reports connect resident circumstances to ongoing service delivery.
