Here are some of the sources I have used for the non indexed censuses
(or is it censi?, just kidding!)

The 1910 Census City Street Finding Aid
Szucs and Luebking, The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy, p.123

The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) promoted and coordinated
the funding to microfilm an important finding aid for the 1910 census. A
city street finding aid, it was created by the Bureau of the Census to
facilitate its work of searching the original schedules for age and
other personal data in response to inquiries from individuals and
government agencies. This index to city streets and census enumeration
districts for thirty-nine cities in the 1910 federal population census
is widely available on fifty sheets of microfiche. The index enables
users of the population schedules to translate specific street addresses
into the appropriate enumeration district number and corresponding
volume number of the microfilmed schedules. The city schedules were
selected for indexing by the Bureau of the Census based on the frequency
of requests for information. The indexes were originally in bound
volumes, but they were dis-bound for microfilming. With the exception of
several of the larger cities, the index for each city occupied a single
volume. The original arrangement of the indexes has been preserved, with
the exception that the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, Richmond
(Staten Island), and Brooklyn have been placed under the heading “New
York City.” There is no index for the borough of Queens.

For those having problems locating addresses for the New York
Metropolitan area in the state’s 1915 census, the Family History Library
has made available two important finding aids: New York City 1915 State
Census Street Address Index vol. 1, Manhattan, is an alphabetical
listing of all Manhattan addresses, giving the assembly district,
election district, block, and Family History Library microfilm numbers.
It was compiled by Elaine Justesen and Ann Hughes and edited by Raymond
G. Matthews in 1992 (Family History Library book 974.71 X22m v.1.;
microfiche no. 6101203). Vol. 2, Brooklyn, an equally valuable finding
aid, was compiled by Lois Owen and Theodore R. Nelson and edited by
Raymond G. Matthews in 1993 (Family History Library book 974.71 X22m,
v.2; microfiche no. 6101620).
