There would be 237.94 zombies per KM2 so odds of survival would be looking rather grim.

But in the UK ranking's Doncaster is not the worst place to live during an apocalypse as Leeds ranks top, closely followed by Manchester and Liverpool.

Estimations for this study are based on a sample of 369,240 globally geo-located cemeteries and graves acquired from an established public database of cemetery records.
