But in the (unlikely?) event of a zombie uprising, where do the living have the best chance of defending themselves?

Inspired by the CDC’s Zombie Preparedness 101 guide, the experts dug in the data graveyard to rank 2021’s Best Cities for Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse.

The ranking compared the 200 biggest US cities on 23 key indicators of zombie-preparedness — from the share of the population in good physical health to the share of available homes with basements to hunting-gear access.

Check out the 10 best (and 10 worst) cities for fighting against the undead below, followed by some highlights and lowlights from the report.
