Coastal erosion could have a significant impact on California's ocean-dependent economy, which is estimated to be $46 billion per year. A 55-inch sea level rise could put nearly half a million people at risk of flooding by 2100, and threaten $100 billion in property and infrastructure, including roadways, buildings, hazardous waste sites, power plants, and parks and tourist destinations. The sea level along California's coasts has risen nearly 8 inches in the past century and is projected to rise by as much as 20 to 55 inches by the end of the century. Approximately 85% of California’s population live and work in coastal counties.

Sea level rise, coastal flooding and coastal erosion.

But if North Dakota, the best state in the US, got a 79-basically a B- score-we may be in trouble. We added these adjustment measurements together with the weight mentioned above to get a score out of 100.

We normalized the data by working with a 0–1 scale where 1 is better for staying alive (like if you had to pick one place to go farm for the future, it’d be North Dakota) and where 0 is worse for waiting it out (you’ll get zeroed out if you’re in a high population place like New Jersey).

Percentage of state’s electricity from solar (20% score): A higher value positively impacts the score.

Gross receipts of farms per capita (35% of score): A higher value positively impacts the score.

Population density (45% of score): A lower value positively impacts the score.

And you might want to get some electric juice from a stable source like the sun, instead of the usual electric plants possibly overrun by cannibalistic corpses. You’ll need farms for food and trading with other tribes.

Our ranking rationale? More (undead) people, more problems. To survive the existential event, we analyzed the US for population density in each state, the gross receipts of farms per capita, and each state’s electricity percentage from solar. The zombie apocalypse usually comes in the form of some sort of disease spread through blood, bites, and barely recognizable undead bodies chasing down the living.
