If you like, but 

bysort home : gen howmany = _N 

seems to be an answer to the question.

Or rather, to create a variable, as your subject line indicates, use
-egen,
count- with the -by- prefix.

Combine -count- with the -by- prefix.

This is very simple but I keep getting it wrong. I have data with
large number of observations (hospitals) and I need to generate a count
variable
of how observations are in each geographic area. The variables are idno
for
the facility, home for the location of the facility.
