That many people do fit on the streets with room to spare though - a square kilometer is a million square meters, and a square meter is more than enough space for a person to stand. Even subtracting all the space the buildings take up, it's still more than enough for a couple thousand zombies. So yes, the numbers aren't really the problem, the question is what on earth the protagonist is doing in such a densely zombie infested area to begin with | |

| May 4, 2018 at 12:02 | comment | added | Cubic | It's not an unreasonable density if a good stretch of the way leads through a large city; NYC has a population density of about 10,000 people per km²; The London Metropolitan Region has about 1,500 people per km². Of course spending any amount of time near a large population center is completely insane in a zombie apocalypse, and countrysides frequently have densities of less than one per square kilometer... | |
