Help with census records-missing address

I’m researching the history of the house I bought in a mid-size city in Louisiana, and I’ve come across an odd situation: I see a listing in a 1933 telephone book for someone living at my address, but no census records exist for my address in the 1930-1950’s censuses. At least, I don’t see any records for my address in the respective enumeration districts. Am I missing something?

ETA: what makes this even more interesting is the house is said to have been built in 1939, but I found a phone listing for someone living here in 1933.

I’m pulling up fistfuls of this vine that seemed to grow overnight. The root system is genuinely horrifying as it can run eight feet before sprouting again and again. Northwest Louisiana, USA
