The State of New Hampshire has created a "Cost of Sprawl" online calculator http://www.costofsprawl.org/ which "makes it easy for planners to experiment with the fiscal impacts of various land use patterns. Instead of having to perform calculations to determine floor area ratios, the additional miles of road that would need to be built, population growth and infrastructure, as well as other time-consuming models, the Cost of Sprawl tool performs complex calculations instantaneously, therefore allowing planners to spend less time analyzing one particular scenario and more time understanding the impacts of a variety of scenarios." http://engagingcities.com/article/online-tool-helps-new-hampshire-municipalities-examine-cost-sprawl
