No. Stucco homes in The Villages have mainly concrete block behind the stucco or solid poured concrete. SOME portions above the main walls that are stucco, such as gables above the garage and the taller front entry areas often have OSB behind the stucco. These areas can be long term areas of concern.
In other communities, like StoneCrest, they have many homes that are stucco over wood frame. In some areas you can also find the problematic EIFS construction.
Without getting into a long discussion, stucco over concrete block or solid poured concrete is much better than stucco over wood here in Florida.
On this thread, I think there may be some confusion between the term "brick" and "concrete block".....
