UPDATE 5/21/21: If you want info on local communities, you can get good input on those sub-forums. However, many of the other sub-forums are pretty weird. Most members identify as Boomers and conservatives, but few are Christian. The Christianity sub-forum has mostly liberal Christians or atheists on there who poke fun at the 2 or 3 conservative Christians who post sometimes there. The Politics section, meanwhile -- which is MUCH larger -- is generally far-right, but curiously almost completely secular. Most are either pro-abortion or pro-sterilization; they don't want liberal children to be born, or at least don't want liberals to be able to produce children. I didn't know such a large number of people existed in the US, but they sure do gravitate toward CityData's politics forum. I've posted on the forum on and off for a few years, but I think I'm done with such a crowd.
