For the record, when babies are born at a hospital the information going on their birth certificate is recorded then and there - including the town they are considered to live in when they are born. Babies born in Rochester or Laconia or North Conway who will be living in Wolfeboro will still be reported to the Wolfeboro Town Clerk as being born in Wolfeboro - the location of the hospital isn't a factor in those demographics.

I think that Wolfeboro's lack of a maternity facility anywhere near its boundaries, will help make the town an unpopular choice of residence among young families of child bearing age.
