How many communities are there today in the United States? I am looking for a number.?

Answer 1

It depends on the minimum size you define for a community. In the 2000 census, there were 239 cities of 100,000 residents or more.

If you define a community to be just a local collection of residents, such as a housing complex, then there are approximately 31,688 communities with an average of 9,500 people in each.
