Rancho San Diego: Rancho San Diego is an upper-middle tract community with newer custom on the hills. Hotter summers, dust, and a fire-zone perimeter push kitchen plans toward outside-vented hoods and ember-resistant exterior venting. Original kitchens from the first build-out are now due for layout and finish updates. Census ACS figures put 21.9% of Rancho San Diego homes before 1978, a newer housing stock than most of the county, so lead-safe containment comes up less often here.
