RESEARCH IN ACTION

ICF commissioned a series of research papers on “U.S. Retirement in Mexico” to help understand the community of U.S. retirees living in Mexico and the nonprofit programs they participate in.

This initiative evolved into a five-year learning journey that culminated in the “National Forum on the North American Retiree Community: Expectations & Options for Living in Mexico.” Attended by more than 100 U.S. expatriates plus Mexican federal and state government officials from nine states, the forum opened an important dialog on what it means to be U.S. citizen living in Mexico.

Research papers resulting from this research initiative include:

U.S. Trends in Mexican Coastal Communities – Lifestyle Priorities and Demographics

Civic Engagement, Volunteerism and Charitable Giving – Americans Retiring in Mexico’s Coastal Communities

The Greening of U.S. Retirement Destinations in Mexico – Emerging Issues and Trends in Coastal Communities

Housing and Real Estate Trends among Americans ?Retiring in Mexico’s Coastal Communities
