Expats: Americans Leaving the US in Droves

The list below is of the main countries hosting American populations. Those shown first with exact counts are enumerations of Americans who have immigrated to those countries and are legally resident there, and does not necessarily include temporary expatriates (the number of Americans resident in Mexico, for example, is believed to be well over one million). In all other cases, starting with Israel, the figures are estimates of part-time US resident Americans and expatriates alike.

As of 2009, there are over 6 million non-military U.S. citizens living abroad., an increase from the 4 million estimated in 1999.

Keep in mind that these numbers are not the latest so the actual numbers of Americans getting the fuck out of this corporate gangland trash polluted heap is continuing to grow.
