- Large Vietnamese community: Over time, the Vietnamese community in California is increasingly crowded. Especially in districts like Orange, Los Angeles, Santa Clara, and Little Saigon, there is a huge concentration of Vietnamese people. These areas also have pagodas, markets, and temples of Vietnamese people, recreating the Vietnamese scene on holidays and Tet.
- Good social security, high job opportunities, pleasant climate, development of many professions suitable for Vietnamese people.
