TV shows like ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘iZombie’ have shown us that although it’s unlikely, you should always consider the possibility of a zombie apocalypse.

On the off chance that doomsday is around the corner, experts at RantCasino.com looked at which areas of the UK would be most affected by a zombie apocalypse*.

So how would Essex fare in a zombie apocalypse?

Here is each area ranked by likelihood to survive (from least likely to most):

Colchester is the 2nd least likely with 9,292 potential zombies.

The total number of zombies is synonymous to the number of graves in the area.
