Community Experience (ComX) reflects how groups—not just individuals—interact with and are shaped by public systems. From neighborhood safety to schools, transit, and shared spaces, ComX influences whether communities feel supported or overlooked. Strong ComX fosters belonging and cohesion, while weak ComX deepens divides and distrust. Designing for ComX means designing for resilience across groups.
