Learn moreA real, disclosed tension in crime data
The FBI's own Crime Data Explorer shows Belleville's population-adjusted VIOLENT crime rate running lower than both Illinois and national averages -- a real, positive, specific finding. A separate aggregation describes Belleville's OVERALL (combined violent-plus-property) crime rate as running higher than approximately 90% of Illinois cities and towns, with roughly 1-in-42 combined victimization odds. These are two real, distinct measures, not a direct contradiction -- but a prospective mover should understand them separately rather than as one single verdict.
Healthcare access
Belleville sits within the broader Metro East/St. Louis healthcare network, giving residents practical access to both local and greater-St.-Louis hospital systems. This pass did not independently confirm a specific in-city hospital name with full confidence -- confirm current healthcare-network access directly.
No specific neighborhood is named as unsafe
