St. Clair County, not Belleville
St. Clair County context, not Belleville figures
These are St. Clair County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Belleville measurements.
- Establishments in St. Clair County4,973
- Employment at those establishments, St. Clair County72,871
- Covered employment, St. Clair County89,981
- Average annual pay, St. Clair County$57,001
- Average weekly wage, St. Clair County$1,096
- Housing units permitted, St. Clair County740
- Of those, single family, St. Clair County346
- County product, 2024, St. Clair County$16,131,374,000
- County product change over the prior year, St. Clair County2.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, St. Clair County$57,798
Every figure in this section is published for St. Clair County as a whole and is not a measurement of Belleville. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.

$63,535. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $141,300. Median gross rent is $1,019 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Belleville businesses?
58 7(a) approvals totalling $21.8 m, across 24 lenders, median approval $199,200, plus 19 504 approvals worth $17.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Belleville, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Belleville borrowers get paid back?
Of the 14 loans that have reached a final outcome, 13 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 7.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Belleville in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Belleville appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170618, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Belleville figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for St. Clair County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Belleville.
Is zoning published for Belleville?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
