The windows in Joplin's homes
By age, 20% of Joplin's homes went up before 1950, 27% between 1950 and 1979, 21% between 1980 and 1999 and 33% in 2000 or later.
Half of them are older than 1985, which is the age of window you're most likely measuring here.
In Bentonville, 52 miles away, 10% of homes are built before 1980, 36 points fewer than here.

Deep sills and wide casings
20% of homes are older still (before 1950), and older walls are often thicker. A deep opening lets an inside-mounted shutter sit flush with the wall and take the widest 4½ in louvers.
Cranks, handles and shallow frames
In the 33% of homes built in 2000 or later, windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, with crank or lever handles. Measure from the glass, or the handle if it sticks out further, to the face of the trim: that depth decides whether you mount inside, outside or on a frame.
Measure each side three times
With 46% of homes built before 1980, openings that have shifted over the years are common. Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and the height at the left, centre and right, then check both diagonals. If the diagonals differ by more than about ¼ in, a mounting frame covers the difference.
How many windows a Joplin home has
The most common home in Joplin is a three-bedroom (40% of homes), and the most common kind is a detached house. Nationally, the middle detached house has 10 to 15 windows.
14% of homes have four bedrooms or more and 16% one or none, so most orders sit near the middle of that range. Large homes are less common here than in 79% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. In Bentonville, 52 miles away, 33% of homes have four bedrooms or more, more than here.
