neighborhood community

Residents sharing bonds

The people who live in a particular geographic area, considered as a social unit with shared interests and connections.

Neighborhood community emphasizes the human relationships rather than just the physical location: The neighborhood community rallied to support the family after the fire.

Often used in contexts of local organizing, mutual aid, or civic engagement.
