Neighborhood Community Genogram

About the Neighborhood Community Genogram

This neighborhood community genogram connects four households to one shared Neighborhood Watch group, creating a simple visual foundation for community participation and support planning.

The example contains eight residents identified as Neighbors 1 through 8. Peter and Mary form the first household, Jason and Alina the second, Carl and Andrea the third, and Benjamin and Katrina the fourth. Mary is marked deceased, preserving relevant status information in the community record.

Each household has a directional connection to the central Neighborhood Watch group. This hub-and-household arrangement makes it easy to see community participation at a glance and provides room to add roles, activities, contact preferences, resources, or other neighborhood organizations.

  • Maps eight residents across four households
  • Uses clear household identifiers from Neighbor 1 to Neighbor 8
  • Connects every household with one shared community group
  • Provides an expandable starting point for outreach and local support coordination
