Windsor mailing addresses hold 414 registered charities
There is no count for Devonshire on its own: the charities are those of all of Windsor. Per 1,000 residents that makes 1.5; the median is 1.4 for Ontario towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. The CRA files each charity under its mailing address, so a service town collects its region’s charities and a suburb or rural municipality few.
