Brace yourselves for a staggering statistic in light of the recent Ashley Madison hack: A jaw-dropping one in five residents of Ottawa, Ontario has an Ashley Madison profile, says Reuters.

That's a higher percentage per capita than any other city in Canada, and potentially, says the company, in the world.

Out of about 883,000 people living in the Canadian capital city, 189,810 of them were listed on Ashley Madison, which allows users to "discreetly" seek extra-marital affairs.

The CEO of its parent company, Noel Biderman, says that they typically experience higher user rates in capital cities, due to the lure of power and prestige.
