Who counts as from Saint-Jérôme?
A birth counts when Wikidata puts it inside Saint-Jérôme’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), 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.
Why is someone missing?
Often Wikidata names only Canada or a province as the birthplace, or a rural area, a hamlet or another town; sometimes the Wikipedia article names somewhere else, or nowhere. A person appears here once both agree, so a correction on either site reaches this page at the next refresh.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
