Note: The 2000 Census did not specifically designate Ladera Ranch as a place for statistical purposes. The data below is for Census Tract 320.52 because most, if not all, of the population residing within this tract is the Ladera Ranch community.

Part of the great Rancho Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch (ladera is Spanish for "slope" or "hillside") in 1999 became one of the latest master planned communities developed by the Mission Viejo Company along with Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita and Los Flores.
