There are so many factors to consider when choosing where to buy a home—average home price, proximity to work, and obviously the odds of surviving a zombie apocalypse. That's why Estately Real Estate Search mapped out which states are the safest to live in if an army of the undead were to suddenly rise from their graves in search of brains to eat. To do this, we ranked each U.S. state from 1-50 using the following five criteria, and then averaged the results to create our final ranking.
- Fewest people per square mile
- Gun owners per capita
- Percentage who are cremated instead of buried
- Percentage of population that is physically active
- Interest in the zombie media genre

If you're concerned about a zombie apocalypse, you're still a kid. And you shouldn't be granted the responsibility to buy a house!
Really... zombies? Idiots (*)!!!!!
(*) An idiot is someone with an IQ of 25 or less... I'm using this term deliberately!

Wouldn't you know it? I own a couple of buildings. And I have my zombie preparedness plan down to my shooting perches.
Turns out people are willing to pay for a mix of being able to plan in detail and think somewhat creatively. Who would have thunk it?*
*Makes no claims to being responsible. Still has Tinker Toys around the house. But everything is paid off, which is the only responsibility that matters.
