Hi Paradigmshift and welcome to the EB! I originally read your post as 'shelled out community;' ie. a war zone lol and although there are many vacant lots with piles of rubble, it's not from bombs.
Then I realized you'd said 'shelled community' and understood that you meant covered or closed and in this sense you are absolutely correct. The compounds make for a sheltered life, a small bit of freedom in an otherwise confining culture.
Hope you enjoy your time here 
hi paradigmshift! may u have a pleasant stay.. don't worry u'll easily get used to it..
