Homes in Edmond
Edmond is a city of houses: of its 39,841 homes, 78% are detached, 4% are townhouses and other attached houses and 16% are apartments or units in buildings of two or more homes.
Much of Edmond is new: 39% of homes were built 2000 or later, and only 26% before 1980. The median home dates from 1993. Owners live in 70% of homes.
Of the 9 Oklahoma cities we have census figures for, Edmond has the newest homes. In nearby Midwest City, 15 miles away, 60% of homes were built before 1980, so Edmond's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Edmond's homes are newer than those in 79% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Whole-house orders
With 78% 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.
Shallow openings
39% 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
74% 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.
Bought to stay
Owners live in 70% 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.
A whole house in Edmond
The most common home in Edmond has three bedrooms: 40% of homes. Large houses are common too: 38% have four bedrooms or more. The median home has 6.3 rooms.
Detached houses are the most common kind of home here. Across the US, the middle home among detached houses has 10 to 15 windows (EIA, 2020). Shuttering that many windows at a typical bedroom-window size comes to roughly $3,200 to $6,000. For scale, that's about 1.3% of the median home value here, $351,400 (owners’ estimates, 2020–2024).
Homes here are larger than in 87% of the 881 US cities we have figures for, so a whole-house order runs to more windows than most.

Summer sun
On the 75 days a year above 90°F, closed louvers keep direct sun off the glass and out of the room. In a window that takes afternoon sun, white and light paint finishes stay cooler to the touch than dark stains.
Cold winters
With 87 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.
