I have a question about how to translate sentences like "the person from the
eight", in the sense of "the person who lives in the house number 8". Is a
counter preferred/needed in this situation? If it is, is the best counter 号?
Is it droppable, so that we can safely say 八の人?

What motivated my question is the name of a Mexican TV show, which in English
means "the boy from the 8". In the Japanese Wikipedia it is translated as
『[8のチャボ](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A8%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BB%E3%83%81%E3%83%A3%E3%83%9C%E3%83%BB%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AA%E3%83%81%E3%83%A7)』.
However, this title sounds a bit unnatural to me (it seems like a counter is
missing, but maybe the name translation is just ok because of the informal
nature of the show).

question
grammar counters
Are counters for houses used in addresses?
Probably the number 8 is more important key than the specific location of
where チャボ lives in the drama series. As the answers in the link, it is
omittable. I don't know what's like "house number" is though, if it was room
in the apartment, 8号室 is specific. If it was the number of the apartment
building itself, 8号棟 is common. I think the answerers in the link explained in
detail.
