A growing number of Americans are looking to live abroad to cut their living costs, pay less in taxes and improve their quality of life, The Wall Street Journal reported recently.
About 4.4 million Americans were living overseas as of 2022, up 42% from 2010, the most recent available data from the Department of Defense's Federal Voting Assistance Program show. The number of Americans in Oceania surged 70% during the period, the biggest increase, while Europe saw a 50% rise. Mexico, Canada, the U.K., France, and Israel host the largest populations of Americans living abroad.
