UK areas ranked by likelihood to survive a zombie apocalypse
TV shows like ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘iZombie’ have shown us that although it’s unlikely, you should always consider the possibility of a zombie apocalypse.
On the off chance that doomsday is around the corner, experts at RantCasino.com sought to investigate which areas of the UK would be most affected by a zombie apocalypse.
Estimations for this study are based on a sample of 369,240 globally geolocated cemeteries and graves acquired from an established public database of cemetery records.
The total number of zombies is synonymous with the number of graves in the area.
Highlights from the research:
- If you live in Leeds, you might not escape unharmed in a zombie apocalypse – with a whopping 811,422 potential zombies roaming the streets.
- Leeds is also home to 149 cemeteries, which we recommend avoiding!
- The second most dangerous city to live in during a zombie apocalypse is Manchester, with 769,911 potential zombies.
- If you live in the Isles of Scilly you might escape a potential zombie apocalypse unharmed, with only 98 potential zombies roaming the streets.
RESULTS:
With a whopping 811,422 potential zombies roaming the streets, Leeds is the worst UK city to be in, should a zombie apocalypse occur. Leeds is also home to 149 cemeteries, which we recommend avoiding!
The second most dangerous city to live in during a zombie apocalypse is Manchester, with 769,911 potential zombies.
In third place is Liverpool, with potential to host 469,768 zombies during doomsday, followed by Bath & North East Somerset, with 297,409 potential zombies, in fourth place.
Southwark comes in fifth place (267,818 potential zombies) – making it the most dangerous borough for Londoners, followed by Wigan (258,692 potential zombies), Sheffield (230,783 potential zombies) and Bolton (222,339 potential zombies).
There is a glimmer of hope for the cities in ninth and tenth place, which are Kensington and Chelsea (200,289 potential zombies) and Medway (185,377 potential zombies).
These would be the LEAST affected areas in a zombie apocalypse:
Residents in the Isles of Scilly might not notice there is a zombie apocalypse, with just 98 potential zombies roaming the streets during doomsday. The same can be said for Stevenage, the second least affected area, with only 241 potential zombies roaming the streets.
