According to an interesting map presented by Trulia, those in Honolulu, New York City and Newark are as good as eaten when the zombie apocalypse breaks out. Those in the southeast and in the Dakotas, kick up your feet and watch it all play out with confidence.
The Huffington Post's Landess Kearns spotted a map from real estate website Trulia that contains vital information for those wishing to survive any wave of undead stretching across the nation.
Here it is in all its glory, providing a power ranking of "most appetizing U.S. cities for zombies."

Halloween means every last website and publication is firing on all spooky cylinders, launching wonderful season-specific content to enjoy. Little did we know that Trulia would satisfy one of our biggest questions.
While the question of safest city remains unanswered, we at least have an idea of the most dangerous, using items such as, per the map, hospital density, congestion, hardware stores and what the site calls a "walk score."
As Kearns mentions, the Atlanta area, as featured in The Walking Dead, doesn't even feature on the map. That may be good and bad news, because perhaps this kind of desolation wouldn't even crack the top 25:
Now Honolulu Magazine's Ambika Castle takes the entertaining albeit grim news in stride:
"Apparently, Honolulu's high walk score makes it easier for "the walkers" to get around. And, our lack of hardware stores makes it harder for us to find weapons, our hospitals give zombies easy access to defenseless food, and our traffic problem makes it hard for us to run away. Imagine this: the H-1 at pau hana time during a zombie apocalypse."
Now this is hardly a definitive list, because we might like the ability to find remote islands. And really, hardware stores will just be an enormous smorgasbord of potential for zombies anyway, because that's the first place people will head.
If we had our druthers, and during an apocalypse druthers are at a premium, we would just rather meander about paradise when we are inevitably bitten and turned into a mindless wanderer.
Honolulu may just be the first place we would want to be when the stuff hits the fan and we need a cocktail to wait for it all to blow over.
