Homes in Orangeville
Orangeville has an unusually large share of semi-detached and row houses: 23% of its 11,060 occupied homes, beside 60% detached houses and 17% apartments.
The 1980s and 1990s built 34% of today's homes, more than any other period we count. 42% are older than that and 24% newer. Owners live in 76% of homes.
In nearby Caledon, 21 km away, 30% of homes were built in 1980 or earlier, so Orangeville's windows are on the whole older. Nationally, Orangeville's homes are newer than those in 52% of the 167 Canadian cities we have census figures for.

Semis and row houses
23% of homes share a wall with the next one. Their front windows face the street side by side with the neighbours', so many owners pick a louver size and a white or off-white finish that sit well beside the houses on either side. Bay windows on semis usually need a separate panel set for each face.
Bought to stay
Owners live in 76% 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 Orangeville
The most common home in Orangeville has three bedrooms: 49% of homes. 28% have four bedrooms or more, and 9% have one or none. Homes average 6.7 rooms.
Detached houses are the most common kind of home here. Across Canada, the middle home has 6 to 10 windows (NRCan, 2007). Shuttering that many windows at a typical bedroom-window size comes to roughly $2,700 to $5,700 CAD. For scale, that's about 0.6% of the median home value here, $750,000 CAD (owners’ estimates, 2021).

6.1% of people in Orangeville are under five, more than in 89% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for. Shutters have no cords or chains at all: the louvers tilt with a rod or by hand, so there's nothing to hang within a child's reach. Canada has limited cord length on corded coverings since May 1, 2021; ours never had any.

Cold winters
With 155 days at or below freezing 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.
