The Great Recalculation: Revisiting the Math of Living in America in 2026

For the first time since 1935, more people left the United States than arrived.

This isn't speculation — it's the finding of Brookings Institution data, cross-verified against Gallup, the IRS, and the Center for American Progress.

The Great Recalculation is a rigorously sourced research book that answers one question honestly: how are Americans actually managing — and where are they going when the math stops working?

Inside, you'll find:

📊 The exodus by the numbers — the −150,000 net migration figure, the 180,000 Americans who relocated abroad in 2025, and what each statistic actually measures (and doesn't)

💰 The real math of 2026 affordability — wages vs. housing, healthcare, and childcare costs, broken down with named sources

💼 The workforce equation — return-to-office mandates, layoffs, and AI disruption colliding with the remote-work flexibility that makes relocation possible

🌍 Geographic arbitrage, explained — from zero-tax US states to a 9-country destination comparison table (Mexico, Portugal, Panama, and more), plus the FEIE/FATCA tax realities most guides leave out

🛂 The citizenship renunciation surge — verified against IRS and Gallup data, including who actually renounces (it's not who you'd think)

What makes this different:

Every book from Trivox Global Consulting includes a full Verification Record — we tell you exactly which sources were fetched and read in complete primary text, which were cross-corroborated, and where we found bias or conflicts of interest in our own sources (including flagging a think tank's ideological lean and a survey's commercial conflict of interest).

This isn't marketing copy dressed as research. It's research that shows its work.

📄 Format: Digital PDF — 18 pages
