According to a study conducted by NoDepositDaily.com, Nevada is the second-worst state for surviving a zombie apocalypse.
The study assessed various survival indicators, awarding Nevada a score of 32.05 out of 100 for its likelihood of making it through such a scenario. While the state earned a commendable ninth-place score for its low population density, it ranked last in terms of access to food.
Nevada found itself trailing only Hawaii, with its remote location considered a disadvantage due to its reliance on mainland resources for food, medicine, and weapons. California followed closely behind as the third-worst state, primarily due to dense population centers and limited access to firearms.
The study factored in weapons and security, supplies and survival resources, population density, medical services, gas and vehicle supplies, climate, access to fresh water, and food.
In contrast, Reno and Las Vegas performed relatively well in a separate analysis conducted by lawn care service site LawnLove.com. Reno was ranked as the 60th-best city for survival, earning high marks for protection and mobility but scoring poorly for hideouts due to a lack of basements. Las Vegas secured the eighth position overall, with nearby Henderson and North Las Vegas ranking lower on the list.
The study by LawnLove.com considered factors such as vulnerability, hideouts, supplies, protection, and mobility when assessing the survivability of cities in a zombie apocalypse scenario. Houston emerged as the top city for survival, while Miramar, Florida, ranked last.
Joining Nevada and California in the bottom 10 were states such as Arizona, New York, Illinois, New Mexico, Ohio, Utah, and Indiana.
Despite Nevada’s less favorable ranking in the zombie survival study, the region appears reasonably well-prepared to face various challenges throughout the rest of 2024, a zombie apocalypse notwithstanding.
