I'm confused about the SIZE of community as well - my street, my "neighbourhood", my suburb ...
I would tend to think in terms of the streets around my park, or the city. In fact, I think I probably identify more closely with the city. Which is massive, and the answers would be completely different. But I'm more aware of city-wide resources, initiatives, news, community groups etc. than I am of anything going on micro-locally. I suspect that this is because I do not spend many daylight hours, any social time, or work time, with anyone in my neighbourhood - but I do spend time with people who are actively planning the cityscape.
If we had dogs again, it might be different, we saw more local notices, talked to people etc. when we were using the Park - we were founder members of the Park User Group, and I don't even know if it exists any more.
