From the CNN Travel, CNBC Make It and Insider.com content mills, we see weekly stories about how “America is awful, that’s why this person/couple/family moved to country X where everything is wonderful“.
Except in the real world, very few Americans move to another country. The U.S. has a population of about 330 million people. Yet among the top ten destinations, only about 7,000 to 20,000 migrate each year. The reality is few Americans are moving overseas despite the media’s nonsensical stories.
Top Ten Destinations for Americans moving to another country in 2022:
- U.K. (21,936).
- Mexico (19,620).
- France (12,220).
- Spain (11,156).
- Germany (10,510).
- Canada (10,415).
- Australia (7,640).
- Netherlands (6,791).
- Japan (6,642).
- Italy (6,599).
