Not for the whole country. Most of europeans never heard of "gated communities". However they may get from the news (from the google bus and stars/hollywood stories for example) that the inequality gap between rich and poor is quickly widening in some regions of California. Hence those who heard of gated communities may believe they are frequent in this particular state at least.
