Data: Wikidata (CC0), people with "educated at" (P69) or, under "Worked here", "employer" (P108) Stanford or one of its schools, and a recorded birthplace. Someone who did both is in both. Wikidata is volunteer-edited, so it over-represents the famous and the American, someone missing here may simply have no birthplace recorded, and a few records are plainly wrong (an 1848-born sculptor did not study at a university founded in 1891). Fix them on Wikidata and the next rebuild picks it up. Births before 1891 are often real: Stanford's medical school grew out of Cooper Medical College. Map: Natural Earth via world-atlas; states: US Census via us-atlas; towns for “Born near”: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), places of 5,000+ people plus every birthplace above. Someone recorded only as born “in Austria” or “in California” is near nowhere. Built by Claude for matmat202. Not affiliated with Stanford University.
