Massachusetts Ranked Third Worst Place To Be During a Zombie Apocalypse

This is unfortunate if you live in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts should this ever come true.  The Bay State was ranked as the 3rd worst place to be in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse and here's why.

Should your dearly departed Grandmother decide that she wants to crawl out of her grave and show you her new, less attractive look, you better get out of Massachusetts.

The survey, according to the New York Post, was scientifically based (wait... this isn't real, right?)  ANYWAY, scientifically based on 6 things:

• Population: Massachusetts has a lot of people for the Zombies breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
• Percentage of water areas: it is on the ocean
• Number of community hospitals:  There are so many hospitals and during a Zombie Apocalypse, that's not necessarily a good thing.  Infections run rampant in hospitals, so... probably not great.
• Number of Airports:  If you want to fly out of the Commonwealth, where do you go?  Most would say Logan unless you are flying out of a teeeeny weeeny airport and one major airport isn't going to get everyone out in time for the inevitable.
• Number of hunting and fishing stores:  Apparently, there are not enough to kill the Zombies.
• Number of military bases:  There are quite a few, but apparently, not enough to fight off Uncle Bernie who came back from the dead and is now stalking you.

Each state was given a score 1-10 with Massachusetts score was a 2.57.

These States are Worse Off Than Massachusetts During a Zombie Apocalypse

There are two states that are worse off than Massachusetts and one that tied.  Pennsylvania tied with a 2.57, Connecticut came in at a 2.15 and the number one worst place to be in a Zombie apocalypse is New Jersey with a 1.66.

Here are the others in the Top 10:

• California - 2.6
• New York - 2.61
• Illinois - 2.68
• Arizona - 2.71
• Tennessee - 2.73
• Indiana - 2.78
• Ohio - 2.81

Something tells me that if you have enough money and a bunker you could hide in, it wouldn't matter what state you live in.  Not that you could buy off a Zombie, but you COULD build a zombie proof mansion, presumably.  Those things, however, find news ways to find their food.  Ew.
