Please give your question some time here as some members only check this forum a couple times a week or less. But this question may turn up some leads for you. Also you may mention a city in the center of the area you would like to find a community.
The reason I mention Facebook is that it will identify your IP address and depending on how you have your settings adjusted can find information within a radius of that city.

Good luck in your quest,
Google offers a free course titled, "Power Searching with Google". 3 weeks self paced 4 to 6 hours per week. I did this course a number of years ago. Definitely worthwhile.
