My previous Mexico News Report asked the question How Many Americans Travel to Mexico ?
This article asks the question “How Many Americans Live in Mexico?
Why do Americans move to Mexico?
Some go there to teach English. Some are missionaries. Some American retirees move to Mexico. There are American business people who reside in Mexico. Americans of Mexican ancestry sometimes move to Mexico. And now we have the “digital nomads”, people who work online and thus can live in many places, who choose to reside in Mexico.
I myself formerly resided in Mexico, for about a decade and a half.
Today it is estimated that there are 1.6 million Americans living in Mexico.
Banderas News is an English-language Mexican website published in Puerto Vallarta on the Mexican Pacific Coast.
Banderas News recently published an article entitled U.S. Citizens Migrating to Mexico in Record Numbers. It reports the 1.6 million American estimate, and says that “Factors driving this migration include lower living costs, healthcare expenses, and rent, along with ample job opportunities.”
There are also Canadians living in Mexico. When I was teaching English in Mexico, a number of my colleagues were Canadians.
