USALEEP (U.S. Small-Area Life Expectancy Estimates Project) provides census-tract–level estimates of life expectancy at birth for nearly all neighborhoods in the United States. Developed by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics with partners, it uses death records and population data to show how long people are expected to live, on average, in small geographic areas. These data help researchers, health departments, and communities identify and address stark local differences in longevity linked to social, economic, and environmental conditions.

A example of a logic model and blank logic model template provided by the US EPA used to provide the roadmap of a project. From the document: "Logic models are useful tools for defining the educational and environmental outputs and outcomes that are planned to accomplish the goals and objectives of the project. A logic model is a visual presentation of the relationships between your work and your desired results. It communicates the performance story of your project, focusing attention on the most important connections between your actions and the results. A logic model can serve as a basic road map for the project, explaining where you are and where you hope to end up."
