In a US town, dead outnumber the living by over a million 
In Colma in California, US, there are roughly 1,500 living residents and 1.5 million dead people. The town,  believed to have been founded as a necropolis (a cemetery), currently features 17 cemeteries. When thousands died in San Francisco due to the 'Gold Rush' in 19th century, their bodies were sent to Colma, due to shortage of space in San Francisco.
