The Zombie Apocalypse in New Mexico
If you’ve been prepping and planning for the zombie apocalypse in New Mexico, we have good news! We’re ranked number 5 in the US for states that are most likely to survive!

What Are the Odds?
While the odds of you ever encountering a real zombie are slim to none, your odds of surviving the zombie apocalypse in New Mexico are pretty high according to Estately. The site used multiple sources, including Facebook statistics, to rank every state in the US. Each state was rated based on their estimated survival skills, knowledge of zombies, and other population-based factors such as the number of martial artists, laser tag enthusiasts, athletes, and military personnel. Here’s how we did:
- Number 1 for zombie knowledge, martial artists, and interest in the Ironman Triathlon
- Number 10 for military veterans
- Number 15 for paintball players and military personnel
- Number 21 for physical activity
- Number 26 for laser tag players
- Number 32 for survival skills

Survive the Zombie Apocalypse in New Mexico
If you’re a doomsday prepper or a zombie enthusiast, then you already have a plan in place. But if you haven’t thought it through, then you’re in luck. The CDC has already published a brief zombie apocalypse survival guide to help you prepare, just in case. Meanwhile, you can improve your odds (and our state’s ranking) by getting out to play some laser tag and brushing up on your survival skills. You can also learn more about surviving the zombie apocalypse in New Mexico through a good old-fashioned Zombie Hunt or the outdoor Zombie Scavenger Game.
Of course, we won’t all survive, so if you’d rather practice your staggering gait, you can join in the Halloween fun at the Las Cruces Zombie Walk!
