If we’d asked you ten years ago if you thought there would be more Americans living in Mexico than the other way around, what would you have said?
Well, you may have thought this was impossible.
But according to Andrew Selee, President of the Migration Policy Institute, of the approximately 1.5 to 1.8 million U.S. citizens living in Mexico today.
At least 550,000 are children of Mexicans who have returned. That’s compared to only about 200,000 American citizens who have gone to live in Mexico.

And it’s not just about a single generation: some Americans are moving back and forth, alternating between both countries as they go through different stages in their lives.
When asked about why this is happening, Selee explained that more than anything else, it’s about economics and opportunity: many Americans “are finding that Mexico offers potentially better economic opportunities.”
If you’re a snowbird (an American who lives in Mexico for part of the year), you may have noticed that more and more young couples, families, and groups of college students have been moving to your community. But what is attracting them there? Why are so many Americans choosing to live in Mexico?
Many of these younger snowbirds are coming for another reason: following their dream of starting a new business or being part of a growing industry, or simply because they feel called to help out in areas of need throughout Mexico.
People who move to Mexico do so because they want to experience a better quality of life and enjoy more affordable (and often better) health care options, higher-quality education for their children, or simply because they have Mexican family members and want to be around them more often.
