I am working on a project where I am trying to map affordable housing and bus stops.

I have used the buffer tool to find out how many bus stops are there within a one mile radius of each affordable house but is there a way to count the bus stops in that one mile radius?

I want to say near X affordable house, there are Y bus stops. Right now what I have is a circle indicating the one mile radius but no count of the number of bus stops in that area.
