1920 US Federal Census Needs Indexing

I was going through the 1920 US Federal Census in Greenville County, South Carolina, and I constantly find that over half of the pages are not indexed at all. When I clicked to get more information about the batch image data, it said that only 11% of pages were indexed (and some of these pages only have 1-2 names on it?)

I think FamilySearch needs to revisit the census indexing, at least for 1920, and maybe get a project going to clean this up.

Has anyone else had this issue?

    U.S. censuses are fully indexed on FS; it's the image-to-index associations that have often gone awry.

    My random poking about in Greenville County did not produce any incomplete Image Index tabs, however, so I can't demonstrate there, but here's an example using the 1910 census in Philadelphia: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/512172#Comment_512172

    Can you please post a url to a page that is not indexed?
