    With numbers, it's easiest to think it like this: If the noun is pluralized, don't use hyphen. If it's not pluralized, use it. For example, A two-YEAR-old child. YEAR doesn't change to YEARS, so use hyphen. He's two YEARS old. Here, the word "year" was pluralized and got an S, so don't use the hyphen.

      Sorry that this is a late reply, but both would make sense.
      For example, "twenty-one is my house number" would make sense in this case, because the noun is after the number, and it is compound. Also "My house is number twenty-one" would also make sense because the compound adjective is describing the noun.
