6 famous people were born in Centretown, more of them leaders than in most towns

James Buckham Kennedy (Canadian politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Corey Hogan and Samuel Bingham.

Wikidata places 7 here in all, and those missing from the list lack a confirming article.

That is 100% of the town’s list, against 22% across Canadian towns.

William Craig, born in 1828. The youngest on the list was born in 1981.

A birth counts when Wikidata puts it inside Centretown’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from), a hospital or district there included, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article agrees. Those who only moved here are not on the list, and neither are adult performers or people famous mainly for crimes. A neighbourhood page lists only births recorded in that neighbourhood; someone recorded as born just “in Toronto”, “in Montréal” or another split city stays on the city’s page.

Some have no birthplace below the province on Wikidata, some were born in a hamlet without a page here, and some have an article that names another place or none at all. The page lists only what Wikidata and Wikipedia agree on, and it follows their corrections at each refresh.
