A company named Lawn Love looked into this ghoulish idea, ranking 2022’s Best and Worst Cities for Vampires. Lawn Love broke down 200 of the largest cities in the United States, analyzing things like population and the amount of blood donation centers (blood is a vampire’s sweet treat, after all). They also looked at a city’s number of vampire-friendly hangouts like homes with basements and casket suppliers, as well as potential deterrents like lots of sunshine and garlic festivals. They even considered a city’s number of vampire “fans” by checking out their nightlife options, vampire-related groups, and vampire tourism.
