33% here, set against 1% for Canadian towns.

Félix-Hyacinthe Lemaire, born in 1808. The youngest on the list was born in 1963.

Anyone Wikidata records as born at a place inside Oka’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), hospitals and districts within it included, whose English or French Wikipedia article confirms it. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes are left out.

The likeliest reasons: a birthplace recorded only as a province or as Canada, a hamlet or rural area with no page of its own, or an article that gives another place or none. Fixing Wikidata or Wikipedia brings them onto the list at the next refresh, as long as the two then agree.
