People are not too diverse, there are mostly folks of Mayan descent, as well as others from Mexico who have relocated to the area. Expats are mostly Brits, Canadians, and US, and are a growing population. The area is incredibly accepting of foreigners, gay, free thinking, and many diverse groups. The people are very welcoming and friendly.
The rate of pay would not interest most folks of the US, as a professional can earn around $1500 usd/month for an educated position. The best option is for those with a job that is transportable, so that they can earn US wages, but work anywhere - something that can be done remotely via computer, for example.
Out at the beach areas around Progreso (Chelem is 5 miles west of Progreso) it has more to do with a relaxed pace of life, walks on the beach, and animal and children charities. In Merida (30 miles inland from Chelem) it is more social, with restaurants and cultural events playing a larger part.
