The 10 cities least likely to survive a zombie apocalypse

Did your town make the cut?

According to a recent "totally practical and 100 percent feasible" study by CareerBuilder, 53 of the United States' biggest metropolitan areas were ranked by their ability to survive a zombie apocalypse.

The study took into account the city's ability to:

Defend itself against the zombie hordes.
Contain the outbreak.
Research and distribute a cure.
Stockpile and manage food supplies.

The nation's largest cities were ranked in the 10 Worst, including Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The 10 Best includes Seattle, Denver, Hartford CT, and Minneapolis. 

Boston was rated the best city to ride out the zombie apocalypse, with a high score on defense, containment, and cure (although it ranked low on food). New York City is the worst, with low scores across the board.
