Here's information from the FLL Project FAQ at

* – HOW BIG CAN OUR “COMMUNITY” BE?
*Your team will not be judged on how you defined your community. Choosing a
community is simply a way to help your team focus your research on a
specific area.
That being said, I usually recommend that teams choose a fairly small
community – like a town or county. This will help your team look at
specific potential  effects of a natural event rather than thinking about
them in general terms. A person is much more likely to consider the effect
on individuals if they are thinking about a town rather than an entire
state. The state is too big to really see all the details.
In the end, your team is welcome to choose a community that interests the
team members.
