American Emigration Revue
Tracking the new American migration — who is leaving, why, and where they’re going.
Our Story
In the past several years, something unexpected has been happening: Americans are leaving. More and more are choosing to live abroad, driven by politics, cost of living, remote work opportunities, climate anxiety, or a desire for a different way of life. This once fringe idea is now becoming a quiet trend — and possibly the beginning of something much bigger.
Yet while immigration to the United States is widely studied, emigration from the United States is barely understood. There’s no centralized data, little institutional research, and few platforms dedicated to tracking the stories and statistics behind this evolving movement.
The American Emigration Revue was created to fill that gap — by collecting and analyzing data, monitoring media narratives, and exploring the long-term impact of American emigration on both sides of the border. We aim to connect the dots and bring visibility to what could become one of the most defining demographic shifts of the 21st century.

As the scope of the study expanded, the project began incorporating public data from Luxembourg’s government open data portal, creating a uniquely detailed view of Americans in their new national context — a perspective almost completely absent from traditional migration research. The study was later recognized by Luxembourg’s open data authority and featured in media such as Folha de S. Paulo, CNN Brasil, and others.
The Turning Point
In 2024, Daniel read the New York Times exposé on Americans moving abroad. It confirmed a realization that had been building for years: this wasn’t just a niche curiosity anymore. A new migratory pattern was emerging — and it could reshape not just American lives, but the places where Americans go.
With that, the idea for the American Emigration Revue was born — to expand the work that began in a single corner of Europe into a wider effort to document, analyze, and understand the evolving phenomenon of American emigration.
Launched in March 2025, the Revue is both a platform and a call to pay attention. If current trends continue, American emigration won’t just be a trend — it could become a defining chapter of the American story.
