I find great ability among people like Marcin Jakubowski, Steven Bosserman and Joseph Smyth to possibly provide you with such data - if the framework is clear.

I looked at http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=222 LEED has some elements of Neighborhood development if I get it right.

when you talk about generalized economic model do you mean the secondary effects of eco community? A local economy which is based on the local ability to repair and improve? The most generalized model is Marcin Jakubowskis Open Source Ecology, but it works with quite a number of assumptions what an active eco-community could do.
