Character[]
Rancho has a huge gang presence, supplemented by a high crime rate. The area contains small-time businesses, small, single-family homes, and a large housing project complex to the south. Rancho is the turf of the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas, who contribute to the majority of the area's problems. The neighbourhood is home to a significant Latino (Mexican and Central American) community.
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The neighbourhood takes place in missions where the Vagos are involved. Most of the missions involve repossessing vehicles or ambushing drug deals.
Influence[]
The southern part of the neighborhood is based on Watts, whilst the northern part is based on Florence. The projects to the south of Rancho resemble the Nickerson Gardens housing projects in Watts. There are also Los Santos' version of the Watts Towers behind the housing projects
Gang Control[]
- The Vagos are permanently controlling most of the area.
- The Aztecas only control the northern section of Rancho, and are rarely seen.
Vagos control Rancho, however, Southside Ballas wearing Rancho t-shirts suggests that Rancho was once controlled by Ballas.
