Detroit has yet to put a famous person on the list
Famous people are on record for 137 of the towns in Oregon. Salem’s 43 names make the longest list in Oregon. After Salem, the next longest list in Oregon is Corvallis’, with 42.
Who’s listed here
Famous people come from Wikidata (people whose birthplace is Detroit), checked against each person’s English Wikipedia article and ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover them. Nobody born in Detroit has passed that check yet, and nobody born within 35 miles is listed.
From Wikidata and Wikipedia: people whose birthplace is Detroit and whose English Wikipedia article agrees, ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover each person. People known mainly for crimes, and adult performers, aren’t listed. “The usual town” = everyone born in the towns gathered so far.
