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

    Given all the brainless zombie-fodder in Los Angeles / Hollywood, San Francisco, San Jose, San Bernardino, Silicon Valley, Sacramento, et al, once they become actual zombies & start scraping the land clean of anyone/everyone WITH a brain in their head, there won't be so much as a three-legged half-blind cockroach left to call it home.
    I envy you folks in high elevations with your easily fortifiable/defendable homes.
    I envy you folks with access to Twinkies to sustain you & CostCo shelves of Mountain Dew to drink.
    I loathe you smug bastards with your chainsaws, chain guns, hoardes of ammo & fuel & flamethrowers, since I can't see to aim & do likewise.
    California is screwed. We'll be awash in 50 foot tall Christina Aguilara's(sp?) with their arms extended & twerking for braaaaiiiiiiiinsss...

      I thought that too.
      I tried to put a garlic stake through the heart of mine, but it turns out she didn't have one & preferred her steaks with BBQ sauce instead of garlic.
      Bah.
