Depending on how the terms are used, they might mean the same thing.

However, "population" implies you're interested primarily in the number of people (or whatever... it could be mountain gorillas, or any other kind of organisms), while "community" carries the implication that you're discussing the way they interact with each other.

A population is a species that lives in the same area, and a community is different populations (different species) that live in the same area.
