New research has revealed what location in Hampshire would be considered the worst place to live if a zombie apocalypse was to occur.

With Halloween approaching Rant Casino conducted some research into the best and worst places to deal with a zombie apocalypse in the UK.

This was based on the premise of the deceased being resurrected as the living dead so the number of graveyards in the area was taken into account.

Statistics for a potential zombie-to-human ratio and the number of zombies per kilometre squared were also worked out.

This was used to surmise how many zombies would be in a certain area to judge which place would be the worst to live in a zombie apocalypse.

Worst place in Hampshire to try and survive a zombie apocalypse

In the Rant Casino research, Portsmouth was considered the worst place in Hampshire to try and live if a zombie apocalypse were to happen.

The total number of graveyards in the city was given as 16, with a zombie-to-human ratio of 15.48% worked out.

Portsmouth would have 33,237 zombies to deal with according to the research, putting it around the middle mark for danger in the UK at 80th position.

Some of the worst places to live in this scenario were big cities such as Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool.

Leeds would have 811,422 zombies to contend with according to the research, whilst Manchester would have 769,911 and Liverpool 469,768.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Isle of Scilly would be the best place to live in the UK for a zombie apocalypse with just 98 zombies to deal with.

Another Hampshire location in Havant was also amongst the top 10 best places is Havant, which would have 1,212 zombies to rise from the dead in such a circumstance.
