Bellevue city, NE in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bellevue city is a small city in Nebraska, with 64,355 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #3 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 36.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Bellevue city earn a median of $87,343 a year, 11.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 30% above the $67,419 median for the 119 Nebraska cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bellevue city is valued at $230,800, 23.9% below the national figure and 43% above the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,202 a month, 14.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,424 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
