Good question. I know Americans emigrate to other countries but I have never seen any numbers on the subject. I just googled the subject and there are some surprising findings:

"A recent Barron’s article, written by Bob Adams, breaks down the Zogby/New Global Initiatives data as follows:

1.6 million (U.S. households) have already made the decision to leave
1.8 million are seriously considering and likely to leave
7.7 million are somewhat serious about leaving and may do so
3 million are seriously considering purchase of non-U.S. property
10 million are somewhat serious about purchase of non-U.S. property

Adding it all up, some 10% of all U.S. households are looking to leave the country, while another 11% are considering living outside the U.S. at least part time."
