Worst Places in New Jersey to be During a Zombie Apocalypse
Halloween is here, don’t be surprised if you see zombies wandering around Central Jersey. In the event that actual zombies come knocking at your door, the website LawnLove has ranked 200 American cities as your best chance of survival in a zombie apocalypse.
They used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Zombie Preparedness Guide, and they then ranked each city on close to thirty metrics including access to weapon and emergency supply shops plus available hospitals.
Here’s your best bet. If a zombie apocalypse happens, jump in the car and head to Orlando, Florida as fast as you can because the best place to be if such an event occurs is indeed Orlando in the sunshine state.
While the city did have a larger vulnerable population than others, thanks to the high number of retirees there, it ranked high for the number of potential hideouts, mobility, and access to the kinds of stuff you’d need if the dead begin walking.
Salt Lake City, Utah ranked second, followed by Honolulu, Hawaii because being on an island has its advantages during an invasion.
Portland, Oregon came in fourth place: Even though it had a “highly vulnerable” population, it was deemed highly mobile and offered ready supplies. Colorado Springs, Colorado placed fifth.
When it comes to the places you don’t want to be in the unlikely event of a zombie apocalypse? Stay the heck out of New York City. The Big Apple ranked one hundred eighty out of two hundred. Nowhere to hide and strict firearms regulations make that a poor place to flee. And Philadelphia came in at one hundred-nine.
So what are the two New Jersey cities that you would want to stay away from should zombies invade? Newark, NJ is one of them which landed at one hundred ninety-two on the list. Jersey City is ranked one hundred ninety. Patterson, NJ fell between Miramar, Florida, and Spring Valley, Nevada to come in at one hundred ninety-six.
