Ooh, what fun!
The problem with an urban community is that the numbers will be so much bigger.
What you could do is chose a name like Smith and do an Ancestry/Freebmd etc search in the death records for an urban RD.
I recently did parish reconstruction work: where we had to count numbers in just the same way, but annual totals. It showed pretty starkly the epidemics and rises or falls in the success of communities.
