Joan:
It happens quite often. One possible reason is the neighbors gave the
information and didn't really know the family, so they're there but the
information is so garbled you wouldn't recognize it. I found one census
page that all of the ages were offset one line from the names, so
searching for name and date of birth would come up with nothing.

Skinnell, (oldest child, and born about 1913) with younger siblings, Lucille M. Skinnell, Joseph P. Skinnell, JR and Robert C. Skinnell. I haven’t been able to find them in the 1930 Census. They lived here in PGH , and for a brief period of time in Youngstown, OH about 1920, but returned to PGH again. They should have been in Brookline about 1930. Do families sometimes not show up in Census records if they are renting? Thanks for any help . Joan
