Communality is a concept in factor analysis that refers to the proportion of each variable's variance that can be explained by the factors. It ranges from 0 to 1. A communality of .53 means that 53% of the variance in the "inactivity" variable can be explained by the factors, which is a plausible value since communalities cannot exceed 1.
