Estately's methods sound very scientific — according to the website, they utilize "11 metrics that measure fighting ability, knowledge of zombies, physical fitness, and access to weapons." A few of the criteria they used in their rankings were:Active Military Personnel: States with more soldiers per capita means states with more people who are physically fit, trained to fight, and have access to weapons. Paintball Enthusiasts: Those who can slink around the woods unnoticed while splattering their enemies with paint will find success shooting zombies in nature (source — percentage of Facebook users who listed “paintball” as an interest). Triathletes: When everything breaks down, running, swimming, and bicycling will be ideal ways to escape zombies (source — percentage of Facebook users who listed ”Ironman triathlon” as an interest).Yep. That sure sounds scientific to me! Similar to my skepticism regarding recent research we reported on gauging U.S. states' "well-being," one metric that seems to me to be a glaring omission from this zombie "study" is weather data.
