I've (yet another unfinished) article coming on power transmission. Transmission around a properly suffers tolerable losses at 12V but transmission around a community (unless it's a very close one) would experience sufficient losses that you'd want to think of transmitting at a higher Voltage.
This is ofcourse a huge simplification as it depends on distance, current and thickness of wire used but as a general rule 12V is not enough once you go to a different building.
