Homes in Jeffersonville
Jeffersonville is a city of houses: of its 23,901 homes, 70% are detached, 4% are townhouses and other attached houses and 22% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
The biggest building period was 1950 to 1979, which accounts for 38% of homes standing today; 28% are from 2000 or later. The median home dates from 1982. Owners live in 72% of homes.
In nearby Louisville, 12 miles away, 61% of homes were built before 1980, so Jeffersonville's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Jeffersonville's homes are newer than those in 51% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Whole-house orders
With 70% 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.
Replacement windows
38% of homes went up between 1950 and 1979, and most of them have had their original windows replaced since. A replacement window often sits further into or out of the wall than the old one, so the depth you have for an inside mount may differ from window to window in the same house. Measure every opening rather than copying one.
Out-of-square openings
With 48% of homes built before 1980, many openings have had decades to settle. Measure each one's width at the top, middle and bottom, and both diagonals. If the diagonals differ by more than about ¼ inch, add a mounting frame in the designer, or choose an outside mount so the shutter covers the uneven edges.
Bought to stay
Owners live in 72% of homes, and shutters are usually bought to stay with the house. Poplar takes paint well, so they can be repainted years from now if you change a room's colours. Keep your order list: it records every size if you add a room later.

Humid summers
Hot days and 51.2 inches of precipitation make for heavy summer air. Wood swells when it's humid, so give kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms some air: run the fan after a shower and tilt the louvers open so steam doesn't sit behind them.
