Yes, on the 1930 Los Angeles census, the houses had both visitation
numbers and house numbers. Also in San Francisco and Napa this is
true--at least in the areas that I've been looking in. All the previous
census years for San Francisco list street addresses and visitation
numbers, I can't recall if any of the others did. Maybe it is a city
"thing"

In looking at the census schedule, I just noticed that the census enumerator failed to write-in any visitation numbers. That is, he did not consecutively number the dwellings (column 3) and families (column 4). He did, however, give the actual street address (columns 1 & 2) for every house on the schedule. Now I know that my relatives lived at 2115 Placer Street.
