Is there a way to create the BAO report at a community/locality/city level and not by Drive Time or Area Radius?
If yes, where could I find the documentation to accomplish this?

Section 1 - PART 1 of 5 (had to split this up)
Greetings!
This is actually a very good question and is one of the fundamental use cases of the Online APIs. That being said, you will be happy to know that your workflow will be fast, efficient, and flexible.
Iâ??ve decided to split this into two sections:
(1). Today, I have decided to respond with a general description of your workflow and some links to the corresponding API reference documentation and some live samples which donâ??t require any code.
(2). Next week, after you have had time to absorb and understand this, I will follow up by also posting the source code for a *very* simple ASP.NET C# example in both REST and SOAP---the two types of services we offer---which will quickly and easily illustrate the concepts I discuss below.
We also offer Adobe Flex/Flash and Microsoft Silverlight SDKs however; since you are targeting a server-side dev platform, I will limit the samples to just the underlying REST and SOAP services.
Thanks for your question and I hope this helps you and everyone else. Enjoy and think about how you can leverage this stuff!

Online APIs - Business Analyst/Community Analyst Team
Workflow Synopsis: Leverage the Online API to generate reports for standard administrative areas (towns, cities, ZIP codes, etc.).
For this workflow, we are going to walk through it using this example:
â??I want to generate a Demographic and Income Report in PDF format for the City of Redlands, CA. To take it one step further, I will also create the same report describing the Redlands ZIP codes and the county containing Redlandsâ?�.
Workflow Steps:
(Step 1). Determine which Online API Dataset you want to access.
The Online APIs have and will continue to deliver and give users/developers access to Esri Business Analyst/Community Analyst datasets. These datasets consist of standard administrative boundary features (ZIP codes, towns/cities, counties, U.S. Congressional Districts, census geographies, etc. ) and Esri data consisting of several thousand high-quality â??variablesâ?� which are observations and calculated values describing Census, demographic, business, consumer, and many other characteristics of the underlying population of areas.
Leverage the Get Datasets service (REST: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/rest/reference/index.htm?GetSummari... SOAP: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/soap/reference/index.htm?GetToken.h... ) to look up the currently available datasets. You will need the dataset ID in subsequent steps. As of this writing, the following datasets are available to consume in the Online APIs:
Going back to our workflow example, we will leverage the â??USAâ?� dataset to query/analyze Redlands, CA.
(Step 2). Look up the area IDs of the administrative areas you want to query/analyze.
The Online API gives you access to several administrative boundary data layers like ZIP codes, towns/cities, counties, U.S. Congressional Districts, etc. We call these â??standard geographiesâ?� within our team. The Online API offers access to several different types of standard geographies. You can leverage the Get Standard Geographies service (REST: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/rest/reference/index.htm?GetStandar... or SOAP: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/soap/reference/index.htm?GetStandar... ) to retrieve a list of the available standard geography data layers and their corresponding IDs which you will need in subsequent analysis. We current provide access to standard geography data layers for the U.S. and Canada in our Online APIs however; I will stick the U.S. data in this workflow.

Going back to our workflow example: â??I want to generate a Demographic and Income Report in PDF format of the City of Redlands, CA. To take it one step further, I also want to create the same report describing the Redlands ZIP codes, the county containing Redlandsâ?�. This implies that you want to query/analyze the â??Cities and Town (Places)â?�. This data layer consists of areas from the list of Census Designated Places (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Census-designated_place and https://ask.census.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1377/~/definition%3A-census-designated-place ).
Since the study area is Redlands, CA (the home of Esri), I would leverage the Standard Geographies by Attributes service (REST: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/rest/reference/index.htm?StdGeograp... SOAP: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/soap/reference/index.htm?StdGeograp... ) to look up the area IDs associated with Redlands, CA against the â??Cities and Towns (Places)â?� data layer (with ID: US.Places). I need to also look up all the ZIP codes associated with Redlands against the â??ZIP Codes: (ID: US.ZIP5) data layer with the same service too. The following describes the output with these lookup operations:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Geography Name Cities and Towns (Places)

If you recall our workflow example: â??I want to generate a Demographic and Income Report in PDF format of the City of Redlands, CA. To take it one step further, I also want to create the same report describing the Redlands ZIP codes, the county containing Redlandsâ?�---we still need to get the county which contains Redlands. Well, we might already know this but this is not convenient for areas which you are not familiar with. Additionally or alternatively, we can actually do everything we want in this step (Get the area IDs of our study locations) using an *address* (or latitude and longitude coordinates) instead of an area name. What we really want is to obtain the â??completeâ?� spatial context of the location---that is, I want to know every area for every available standard geography data layer that â??touchesâ?� or intersects that address (or those coordinates), I can leverage the Return Standard Geographies service (REST: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/rest/reference/index.htm?ReturnStan...

(Step 3). Look up the IDs of the report you want to generate.
This is a quick and easy step. The Online APIs have a growing number of predefined report â??templatesâ?� which you can generate with the services. In most cases, the reports summarize demographic, business, consumer characteristics, and many other measures which describe the underlying population of your selected study areas. In Step 2, you selected the study area, in this step, you are selecting the reports and you need to look up their associated IDs to tell the Online API which report you are interested in creating. (It should be noted that access and availability of report templates and associated analysis locations are subject to the terms of your subscription.) Leverage the Get Report Templates service (REST: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/rest/reference/index.htm?GetReportT...

(Step 3). Look up the IDs of the report you want to generate.
This is a quick and easy step. The Online APIs have a growing number of predefined report â??templatesâ?� which you can generate with the services. In most cases, the reports summarize demographic, business, consumer characteristics, and many other measures which describe the underlying population of your selected study areas. In Step 2, you selected the study area, in this step, you are selecting the reports and you need to look up their associated IDs to tell the Online API which report you are interested in creating. (It should be noted that access and availability of report templates and associated analysis locations are subject to the terms of your subscription.) Leverage the Get Report Templates service (REST: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/rest/reference/index.htm?GetReportT... SOAP: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/soap/reference/index.htm?GetReportT... ) to look up the list of available report templates.

(Step 4). Generate a summary report on the selected areas.
This is the final step. Using the information you looked in Steps 1-3, we going to leverage the Summary Reports service (REST: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/rest/reference/index.htm?SummaryRep... SOAP: http://help.arcgis.com/en/businessanalyst/online%20apis/services/soap/reference/index.htm?SummaryRep... ) to generate reports describing our study areas.
Letâ??s go back to our workflow example one last time and summarize what we collected. â??I want to generate a Demographic and Income Report in PDF format of the City of Redlands, CA. To take it one step further, I also want to create the same report describing the Redlands ZIP codes, the county containing Redlandsâ?�.
(Step 1). Determine which Online API Dataset you want to access.
