Community
Titled local group
Community is a group of people connected by something shared—location, interest, identity, or purpose.
A neighborhood is a community; so is the deaf community or the gaming community.
The word carries warmth, implying mutual support and belonging: a sense of community.
Community also describes things meant for shared use: community center, community garden.
