Poor quality 1920 US Census image left side blurry/illegible multiple pages
The original document appears to be clear yet the image is unreadable. The scanner was not focused or steady. The image produced was 'double' or shadow and blurred possibly from movement during the process. This is very frustrating. I am unable to read the entries to determine whether one of the sons actually is missing as reported per the indexing.
I attempted to uses the Feedback button but was directed to FamilySearch Community. It is possible that the entire 1920 Census book has been scanned this way. How do I request to have it submitted for re-scanning?

Thank you for your time. This is only the second time I have used Community Notes. I never received a response for my other question.

Good afternoon @HeffnerTree
The 1920US census records were microfilmed a long time ago, and, as far as I know, all genealogy websites share the same version. I just checked on FindMyPast.com, which generally has the best quality images, and their version of that page of the Caddo Parish, Louisiana census looks the same. https://search.findmypast.com/record?id=USC%2F1920%2F004965985%2F00731&parentid=USC%2F1920%2F004965985%2F00731%2F076
I also checked for another post from you, without a reply, and I only see that you have made one post, this one. Perhaps you had another username/account before?

I checked Ancestry and found your page. It too, is exactly the same. I suspect NARA is the one who did the digitizing.

Thank you both for the content and for such a prompt reply. I would like to commend the person who transcribed this!
