How large is the state of Guanajuato in Mexico?
Guanajuato
Concentrated in San Miguel de Allende are foreign residents mostly from the United States and Canada who have come to live because of the area's mild climate, cultural opportunities, and low crime rate.[47][48] While only about ten percent of San Miguel's total population, they have had a large impact on the area economically, accounting for most home buyers.[48][49] Estimates of foreign residents range from 8,000 to 12,000 with about 7,000 of these from the United States alone.[48][50][51][52][53] This makes San Miguel one of the largest American communities in Mexico,[50][51] large enough to warrant its own U.S. consulate to provide services such as notary and passport.[54]
