Global Mexican Population: ~11–12 Million Abroad (2020 Estimate)

The Mexican government (Institute for Mexicans Abroad / SRE) estimated 11–12 million Mexican-born individuals living outside Mexico in 2020.

The vast majority (~97%) reside in the United States (~10.9M per U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020). Smaller communities exist in Canada, Spain, Germany, UK, Guatemala, Bolivia, and elsewhere.

Total global Mexican-origin population (including those in Mexico) is ~130 million (Mexico's 2020 population: 126M + diaspora). Exact diaspora counts are elusive due to undocumented migration, dual citizenship, and varying definitions of "Mexican."
