Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) is the city outside the US with the most Americans living there (over 183,000 in 2016), followed by Tel Aviv (Israel) and Toronto, Ontario (Canada), London, England (UK), and Montreal, Quebec (Canada).

Thanks for your research and response. Yes, I was aware of the Website showing Vancouver at the top of the list. However, some other sites suggest something different. For example, at another Website, Mexico is listed as being the most popular country for Americans living abroad with no less than 762,290 of them living south of the border, According to the site, this compares to 270,217 Americans living north of the border in Canada. However, no information is given for the breakdown for Americans living in various Mexican cities. It leads me to believe Vancouver MIGHT not be the correct answer, hence my question..

Actually, estimates of the number of Americans living in Mexico are much higher than you've listed, with the most common estimate being between 1 and 1.25 million (BTW, your estimate for the number of Americans living in Canada is also very low; it's generally also estimated to be about 1 million). But the catch is that the Americans in Mexico live in many different places. The largest number, as shown in the graph on the attached website, live around Tijuana -- but in 2010 they only accounted for 6.4% of all Americans living in Mexico, which is about 64,000 at the 1 million estimate -- and which is only one-third the number of Americans in Vancouver. The next largest group is around Lake Chapala, and that is only about 41,000 in 2010. As you can see from the graph, there are 20 locations with at least 11,000 American residents, which is how the number of Americans in Mexico becomes so large despite not having any one location with an American expat community remotely close in size to Vancouver.
