story submits - normalizing

About to embark on a series of short stories, I'll be submitting to the paper magazines. Like Analog, Omini, etc,

Science Fiction & Fantasy, says "The SF element may be slight, but it should be present. We prefer character-oriented stories. We receive a lot of fantasy fiction, but never enough science fiction or humor. Do not query for fiction; send the entire manuscript. We publish fiction up to 25,000 words in length."

But isn't there a more ideal word count? This figure seems out of the norm.

I'm looking for word counts that would satisfy across the board, not necessarily what is stated.
These will be character driven
