***"Community", in this table, is defined by available subregional,
law enforcement jurisdiction, and school district data; these definitions
are restrictive, and there are many more communities in the San Diego
region than those represented in the chart above. For example, San Diego
in the above table represents both the San Diego Unified School District,
as well as the large area served by the San Diego Police Department,
and numerous zip codes within the region. Many of the AB 1741 and Title
