Do you have school groups coming to your museum? Where do they come from or how far out from your museum would you like them to come? That's probably a good indication of your "community". If you have minimal school use, what do locals consider the "geographic" community? This may be different than just your town or county, I once lived in a small town whose "geographic" community stretched over parts of two counties and included four towns.

Good luck!

For those of you who have written an economic impact statement for your museum, how do you define “community”? In writing one for my small museum ($240,000 budget) in my small town, I’m not sure how best to define our economic community. Should it include only our county or surrounding counties, or should it be done by a 50 mile radius from the museum?
