Homes in Vineland
Vineland is a city of houses: of its 22,768 homes, 68% are detached, 5% are townhouses and other attached houses and 20% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
The biggest building period was 1950 to 1979, which accounts for 46% of homes standing today; 17% are from 2000 or later. The median home dates from 1971. 70% of homes are lived in by their owners.
In nearby Camden, 33 miles away, 81% of homes were built before 1980, so Vineland's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Vineland's homes are older than those in 71% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Out-of-square openings
With 65% 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.
Manufactured homes
7% of homes are mobile or manufactured homes, whose windows usually sit in thin walls with little depth inside the opening. An outside mount on a frame is the reliable choice there, fixed into the framing around the window rather than the thin wall panel.
Replacement windows
46% 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.
Whole-house orders
With 68% 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 108 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.
