50 States and DC ranked by Zombie Apocalypse survivability

17. Indiana

When you think of Indiana the first thing that might come to mind is auto racing. Like race tracks for horses, speedways would make an excellent place to take shelter because they have fences and an infield that can be used for crops. If you can make it there, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a great place to go.

The Hoosier National Forest is one of the many parks in the state, but Hoosier is known for camping and the hotels in French Lick. Like the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, a spa hotel in the middle of the forest is a place where groups of people could go and live comfortably, safe from the zombies.

If you find yourself in South Bend, you’ll find the University of Notre Dame. Universities can make great shelters because they’re big and stocked with supplies almost year-round. Notre Dame’s storied football stadium is a perfect place to seek shelter, but only if you have other people to help you keep the zombies out.

Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari probably don’t jump to the top of the list for places to survive the zombies, but theme parks have secure walls and fences, and like the people who lived at the top of a water slide in Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead, there’s some benefit to having a place that zombies can’t reach.
