Which Canadian city would be safest in a zombie apocalypse?

Edmonton would apparently be the safest place in Canada to survive a hypothetical zombie apocalypse; rating By Rentola, an online rental portal.

Five factors such as vulnerability, hiding places, supplies, security and mobility were analyzed to determine the best and worst cities to live in if the dead hit the streets.

Vulnerability includes population density and health. The caches take into account average household size, green space and housing vacancies. Supplies refers to access to food, water and medicine. Security takes into account crime and weapon data. Mobility takes into account walking, running and cycling results, as well as roads.

Rentola ranked 35 metropolitan areas based on their analysis into five categories.

Edmonton scored relatively high across the board, leading to its No. 1 ranking.
