Which American city offers the best protection from zombies
A RECENT study by CareerBuilder, a recruitment firm, has ranked the 53 largest metropolitan areas in America according to their ability to withstand a zombie invasion. Cities in which a large percentage of the population work in the military and the protective services score well in the “defence” category. Small arms and ammo manufacturing also help matters. Plentiful engineers and construction workers lead to a better “containment” score, although a high population density can reduce this value. Places like Boston that contain a large number of biotech and medical research firms score well in the “cure-research” category, and cities where food manufacturing is a high percentage of total exports are afforded a high “food-supply” score. Residents of bottom-placed New York can take solace from the fact that Boston is just a four-hour drive—or three-day walk—away.
