You would have a better chance at surviving a zombie apocalypse if you’re reading this somewhere in Arizona. According to Estately Blog, Arizona ranks 7th state in the U.S. most (and least) likely to survive a zombie invasion. The study is based on 11 metrics that included obesity population, soldiers and veterans per capita, people with guns and paintball enthusiast.

Arizona is pretty zombie crazy:

Home to both the Department of Zombie Defense and the Arizona Zombie Defense Force. The state of Arizona trains for the zombie apocalypse with zombie walks, a Zombie Night at an Arizona Diamondbacks game, and much more.

Here’s how we fare against the rest of the country:

If our fictional inevitable doom were to ever happen, we hope the shit hits the fan in the middle of July. Zombies couldn’t take a Tucson summer. I don’t know how we do it sometimes.

  1. Thank God. Our right-wing gun nut phoenix based wacko gun nut lawmakers have saved us.
    We should be number …. 3 right?

  2. fare vs. fair

    when comparing, I believe it would be: How do we fare against the rest the country.

  4. Minnesota has twice the amount of military personnel & veterans, less obesity, and 8x more triathlons, all of which I’m pretty sure are more important than how many Arizonians listed survival skills and zombies in their Facebook interests. Not everyone who has a gun knows how to use one, and perhaps the best solution to a zombie outbreak is not simply to kill off all of the zombies. In this scenario, Minnesota gets bonus points because of the awesome Minnesota Department of Health and its widely-sought-after knowledge in epidemiology these days. (Assuming that zombies count as diseased humans, and that their spread is due to disease.)

  5. Zombies? Perhaps you are referring to John McCain and his elderly mostly brain dead cohorts! Yeah you need monumentary weapons and Liberals to get rid of those Zombies!

  6. I’m sorry but if you guys think longshoremen in New Jersey would put up with zombies you’re all out of your minds. Zombies wouldn’t last a day in jersey .
