Morphology
The meaning 'a group of people living in the same area' is directly and compositionally derived from 'local' (pertaining to a particular area) + 'community' (a group of people). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common noun phrase pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand.
Etymology
Local community comes from village life, where people who live near each other, called local, met at the same well or market and helped each other — the idea behind community. So today local community means a group of people living in the 'same area' who 'share' interests and support each other.
