I worked through the 1921 census looking for about 1100 people and submitted over 300 transcription error reports. There are still around 100 people I did not find who must be there somewhere but so mistranscribed I could not find them what ever I tried. So my experience there is at least a 25% error rate which is so bad that they are not coming up on a search.
Like you Nell, many of them were quite clear on the image.
