The correct article to use in this sentence is "the".

The sentence should read: "US researchers said on Wednesday they had calculated the price of residing in sprawled-out communities."

The use of "the" indicates that the researchers were referring to a specific set of sprawled-out communities, rather than any arbitrary or unspecified ones.
