Approximately 360,000 Cambodian-Americans — many of whom trace their roots to the refugee waves of the late 1970s and 1980s — maintain active family connections with relatives in Cambodia. Hubs like Long Beach, CA, and Lowell, MA, are home to the largest concentrations of Cambodians outside Southeast Asia. Regular phone calls bridge the generational and geographic gap.
