21 are placed here on Wikidata; the rest have no article to confirm it.

50% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 22%.

Joseph Bédard, from 1835; the most recent birth on the list is from 1974.

Anyone Wikidata records as born at a place inside Saint-Roch’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from), 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. 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.
