Using the American Community Survey, the U.S. Census and other sources, the Planning & Community Developmnt Department gathers data to form a snapshot of the Bellevue's population:

Bellevue is the fifth largest city in Washington. With a population of 122,363 in 2010 and an estimated employment of 140,000, Bellevue serves as the metropolitan center for King County's Eastside.
Bellevue is an increasingly diverse city, with more than 40 percent of its population a minority race or ethnicity in 2010.
With its reputation for good schools, Bellevue continues to attract families with children. The under-18 population has kept pace with overall population growth and comprised just over one fifth of Bellevue's population in 2010.
Bellevue residents are some of the most highly educated in the state, with over 60 percent having a bachelor's degree or higher in 2009. Nearly the same proportion was employed in management, professional or related occupations.
An increasing proportion of Bellevue residents commute to work by means other than driving alone -- 34 percent in 2009, up from 26 percent in 2000.
In 2007-2009, Bellevue's median household income was among the top 10 highest of large cities in the state at $80,411, yet household income, accounting for inflation has remained largely flat since 2000. The poverty rate in Bellevue has also remained steady since 2000 at 5.7 percent.
Bellevue's housing values were among the five highest in the state in 2007-2009, and locating affordable housing was a challenge for more than a third of Bellevue's households.

On these pages you will find answers to frequently asked questions about Bellevue's demographic, social, economic and housing characteristics, as well as a summary of demographic trends in Bellevue. You will also find demographic profiles for Bellevue's major neighborhood areas and reports and presentations about the city as a whole.

Information about the decennial Census and the American Community Survey along with links to websites where you can find additional information are also provided.
