El Cajon: El Cajon is mostly older single-family and multi-family with some newer custom on the east end toward Fletcher Hills. Hotter summers, dust, and limited electrical capacity in the older stock mean a panel look is common before an induction range goes in. Census ACS data puts 62.5% of El Cajon housing before 1978, so lead-safe practices on cabinet and wall demolition apply to a lot of kitchens here.
