I am not sure about the 'area' part but yes the Hadith is that if no one sits itikaaf in the whole city then they are all accountable ..

^ I am sure that the hadees is conditional and must be talking about the muslim state/muslim populated cities only.

ai'takaaf is **farz e kiyaaya**** that is if ONLY one person does it in the entire city/toewn/village/hamlet] then ALL the inhabitants are absolved from the farz...on the other hand, if NO one does ai'takaaf then ALL inhabitants are GUILTY and they will be answerable. *as far as receiving azaab in this word individually and/or collectively is NOT true. he/she will eb judged after his death on the day of judgment.*
