There’s no place like home, but what happens when you find out you have some paranormal roommates? Just in time for spooky season, we took a hard look at the data to find the cities with the most haunted houses in 100 of the largest cities in the U.S., using Housecreep.com as our primary source.

The researchers at Assurance IQ crunched the numbers to identify homes based on paranormal sightings and crime data. Next, we compared these numbers to the total number of homes in each city to determine the likelihood of living in a haunted house by city.

Homes with a paranormal past aren’t just a matter of folklore or fun conversations; they often carry a stigma that can impact their market value. Potential buyers may be reluctant to purchase these stigmatized properties, leading to challenges in reselling the house. Homeowners may also find it tricky to find accurate and fair insurance coverage for such properties.

Read on to uncover the odds that your new dream home could turn into a real-life house of horrors.

When it comes to the haunted housing market in the U.S., not all cities are created equal — or should we say equally haunted?

Most Haunted Cities

  • At the top of our ghoulish leaderboard is Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a spine-tingling 329.78 haunted houses per 100,000 homes. Whether you’re looking for ghostly roommates or crime-related stigmas, Tulsa is your go-to haunt — literally.
  • Coming in second, but no less spooky, is Akron, Ohio. With 153.88 haunted houses per 100,000 homes, you’re likely to get a “boo” rather than a “how do you do” when exploring Akron’s real estate.
  • Closing out the top three is Little Rock, Arkansas, with 114.96 haunted houses per 100,000 homes. Between its historic landmarks and local legends, Little Rock may offer more Southern chills than Southern charm.
  • Floating in fourth place is Louisville, Kentucky, with 83.66 haunted houses per 100,000 homes. Better pack some sage and salt to go with your mint julep when you move here!
  • Fifth place is another Sooner State star: Oklahoma City, with 75.03 haunted houses per 100,000 homes. It seems like Oklahoma might just be the hub for haunts.

Least Haunted Cities

  • If you’re more into sunbathing than ghost-hunting, we suggest heading down to Miami, Florida. With only 0.83 haunted houses per 100,000 homes, the scariest thing you’ll likely encounter is a sunburn.
  • In a city that never sleeps, maybe the ghosts just can’t find a quiet place to haunt. New York City reports a measly 1.59 haunted houses per 100,000 homes, making it almost as rare to find a haunted house as it is to find an empty subway car on Halloween night.
  • In Albany, New York, ghosts seem to be taking a legislative break. With just 1.91 haunted houses per 100,000 homes, it appears the only spirits you’ll likely encounter here are those of lawmakers past.
  • Sneaking in at fourth least haunted is Rochester, New York, with a measly 2.03 haunted houses per 100,000 homes. It seems that Rochester’s ghosts might be more interested in the city’s famous garbage plates than in haunting homes.

Rounding out our list is Austin, Texas, where you’ll find only 2.11 haunted houses per 100,000 homes. In this music-loving city, the only spirits you’re likely to encounter are those served in a glass on Sixth Street.
