Top 10 States to Survive a Zombie Outbreak

According to pop culture, a zombie apocalypse could be closer than we think. While it might be premature to start fortifying your home or wielding barbed-wire bats, it’s wise to remember the safest locations for surviving such an event.

CableTV.com has thoughtfully identified the top states to take shelter in during a potential zombie apocalypse. They categorized each state into Zones 1 through 4, with Zone 1 representing the most secure areas and Zone 4 being the least survivable.

To compile these findings, the team at CableTV.com analyzed data on agriculture, firearm ownership, solar energy usage, and climate for each state. Sadly, the northeastern states didn’t perform well, with Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey all classified as Zone 4. However, these states still offer better odds than Nevada, which ranked at the very bottom.

If you’re in California, you’re in luck when it comes to zombies: The state was ranked as the safest refuge in Zombie America due to its ideal weather and widespread use of solar energy. Midwesterners also have little to fear, as most of their states were placed in Zones 1 or 2.

CableTV.com notes that the four key indicators aren’t the only survival factors. The site highlights the importance of locating areas with long-lasting food supplies for survivors. The top two post-apocalyptic snacks? Twinkies and ramen.

In a world overrun by zombies, health-conscious eating becomes a luxury, and pickiness is no longer viable. Head to Kansas, Georgia, or Indiana, home to Hostess’s three Twinkie factories, and load up on supplies.

If the Midwestern states are too distant, don’t worry: New Jersey and Kentucky boast the most enduring ramen reserves.

For the highest likelihood of survival, these 10 states are your top choices. Best of luck navigating the apocalypse!
