Homes in Logan
Apartments outnumber houses in Logan: 51% of its 19,588 homes are in buildings of two or more units. Detached houses make up 38% and townhouses and other attached houses 9%.
The biggest building period was 1950 to 1979, which accounts for 31% of homes standing today; 28% are from 2000 or later. The median home dates from 1984. Most homes are rented: owners live in only 37%.
Of the 18 Utah cities we have census figures for, Logan has the second-highest share of apartments. In nearby Ogden, 36 miles away, 66% of homes were built before 1980, so Logan's windows are on the whole newer. Nationally, Logan's homes are newer than those in 54% of the 881 US cities we have census figures for.

Apartments and condos
51% of homes are in buildings of two or more units. Balcony and patio doors suit bypass or bifold panels rather than hinged ones, which need floor space to swing. Check what your HOA or building allows to show from outside before you order: most rules are about the colour seen through the glass.
Renting?
63% of homes are rented. Shutters screw into the window frame or casing, so ask your landlord before you install; taking them down later leaves only screw holes to fill.
Out-of-square openings
With 45% 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.
A whole house in Logan
The most common home in Logan has two bedrooms: 34% of homes. Three-bedroom homes make up another 30%. The median home has 5.1 rooms.
Apartments are the most common kind of home here. Across the US, the middle home among apartments in buildings of five or more units has 3 to 5 windows (EIA, 2020). Shuttering that many windows at a typical bedroom-window size comes to roughly $900 to $2,000. For scale, that's about 0.4% of the median home value here, $383,600 (owners’ estimates, 2020–2024).

6.9% of people in Logan are under five, more than in 86% of the 881 US 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. US rules for cords on custom blinds and shades are still being rewritten; ours never had any.

Cold winters
With 166 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.
