Research Study of Expats Moving to and Living in Mexico Containing Fascinating Results Released

Expats in Mexico Research Study book coverLake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico—October 9, 2017— Best Places In The World To Retire (Best Places) announced today the release of its research study of 1,129 current expats living in Mexico, “Expats In Mexico—Expectations, Worries… and How It All Turned Out.”
 
The more surprising findings included:
  • 81.6% moved to Mexico in search of a “simpler, less stressful life,” almost the same percentage who moved for better weather and a lower cost of living.
  • In what way the healthcare situation in Mexico was the biggest surprise the expats found.
  • What were Mexico expats' fears, which ones came true, and which did not.
  • Which areas in Mexico were the places the respondents liked best.
  • What myths were shattered and which are true.
“Mexico is a leading destination for Americans and Canadians considering moving abroad," said Chuck Bolotin, Vice President of Business Development, "yet there was very little objective data on the Mexico expat experience.  Now, with the release of this rigorously designed, executed, and reported study with more than 1,100 respondents, there is.”
 
Alan Alexander, Chairman of the Best Places Advisory Board added, “In addition to being perfectly designed for those considering moving to Mexico, this study is constructed to make it easy for journalists.  The top-line, most interesting findings are highlighted in the introduction; there are lots of clear, interesting, and surprising graphs and charts; and there is commentary to help to explain it all, not only by the study’s authors, but also by hundreds of expats, who provide a very human, firsthand perspective to the numbers.”
 
“This study contains the answers to the most basic, most interesting questions about people moving to Mexico.  Why did they do it?  What were their expectations?  What were their fears? What surprised them? How did it all turn out?” said Bolotin.  “This study is a 'must read' for anyone considering moving to Mexico or anyone interested in those who are.”
