Phrase help

Hi,

I appreciate if any one can help me on this sentence:

I hope in the future the people in my community will have a better life.

I am no clear whether the word 'community' here refer to the place or residence.


Thanks

"my community" means the people that you live near to and/or associate or identify with. If you live in a small village, "my community" could be the whole village. If you live in a big city, "my community" might be the people in your neighbourhood.
