A great deal of applicants were of your target demographic.

Small community to me (depending on demographic) could mean lots of people working from home that would benefit from the "co-working community" and usage of space that is not a coffee shop or local library.

As has been said, if your properties are in a total warzone this may be normal for your target demographic.
