Not-for-profit community housing threaten eviction more than public housing

Community housing tenants in NSW were almost three times more likely to be sent eviction applications last year.
The NSW government said the applications did not necessarily mean a tenant had been, or would be, evicted.
Effing hell! They seem to want people who are already vulnerable to live in a constant state of fear.

Couldn’t this data be skewed a lot by the former taking in tenants who are in a worse financial situation, or the latter having more reliable systems around payment (e.g. automatically taking rent from pension which means those tenants won’t end up in arrears).
The article pays a bit of lip service to the two cohorts not being the same (claimed to be “similar") but doesn’t actually provide more information, which is a shame as it is otherwise well researched with plenty of details.

Might be worth writing to the journalist and asking.
