Study reveals safest Cambs areas in a zombie apocalypse

The study, conducted by Rant Casino, took into account the number of cemeteries and potential zombies in each area.

A spokesperson for the company said: "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 sought to investigate which areas of the UK would be most affected by a zombie apocalypse."

With that in mind, here's how Cambridgeshire would fare in a zombie apocalypse.

Peterborough:

With 33 cemeteries, Peterborough is not low on the list of potential zombies that could hypothetically break out and roam the city's streets.

Peterborough has an overall population of 202,626, and a potential zombie number of 2775.

This gives Peterborough a zombie-human ratio of 1.37%, with humans having a strong numerical advantage in the area.

Cambridge:

Cambridge is also high on the cemeteries list, with 35 in the city.

The area has a population of 125,063 and a potential zombie number of 7081.

This makes Cambridge slightly more dangerous than Peterborough in the hypothetical scenario, with a zombie-human ratio of 5.66%.

South Cambridgeshire:

South Cambridgeshire, which includes areas such as Duxford and Gamlingay, includes 122 cemeteries.

However, the area is larger than both Peterborough and Cambridgeshire.

A population of 160,904, and a potential zombie number of 20,011, gives South Cambridgeshire a zombie-human ratio of 12.44%.

East Cambridgeshire:

East Cambridgeshire includes areas such as Littleport, Ely and Soham.

The region features 55 cemeteries and 7,612 potential zombies.

With a population of 90,172, East Cambridgeshire has a zombie-human ratio of 8.44%.

Huntingdonshire:

This gives Huntingdonshire a zombie-human ratio of just 2.61%.
