Shear walls are built to prevent lateral load or movement, So you probably looking at a long hallway or stretch . Its hard to say because location is also dependent on your roof and size of the town house and foundation. There are codes that had just been implemented and changed. Not too sure what the ratio is and rules are ( structural engineer stuff / math ). Your better off finding it out on the plans or from a structual engineer. Again all dependent on you buildings specs. hope this helps
