Homes in Greenwood
Greenwood is a city of houses: of its 27,721 homes, 63% are detached, 9% are townhouses and other attached houses and 26% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
Much of Greenwood is new: 42% of homes were built 2000 or later, and only 27% before 1980. The median home dates from 1996. 59% of homes are lived in by their owners.
In nearby Indianapolis, 12 miles away, 59% of homes were built before 1980, so Greenwood's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Greenwood's homes are newer than those in 78% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Shallow openings
42% of homes were built in 2000 or later. Newer windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, and handles, cranks and alarm sensors stick out into the space a louver swings through. Measure the depth to the glass and to anything that sticks out; the designer checks it against the louver size you pick.
Rounded drywall corners
73% of homes here were built from 1980 on, and many houses of that era have rounded ("bullnose") drywall corners around the windows instead of square returns. A shutter can't sit flat against a curve: choose an outside mount with a frame that clears the corner, or an inside mount if the flat part of the opening is deep enough for your louvers.
Whole-house orders
With 63% of homes detached, most orders here cover a whole house: bedrooms, a patio door, perhaps a bay. Put every window in one list in the designer so the louver size and colour match from the street, and if you have an HOA, send it the drawings before you order.

Cold winters
With 120 freezing nights a year, warm room air meets cold glass for months. Shutters closed tight overnight hold that air against the window, so condensation can collect on the sill: tilt the louvers open in the morning, and wipe the sill on windows that often run wet.
Wet months
47 inches of precipitation a year keeps the air damp for long stretches. Steam and condensation are hard on any joint, so in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms keep the air moving and wipe water off the sill before it sits.
