More than 50,000 families are living below the poverty line in Edinburgh, Scotland's most affluent city. Edinburgh is exposed as "a city divided" in a report that shows that despite average incomes being 9% above the rest of Scotland, one in five households is living below the poverty threshold.
The poverty line is measured at £125 per week if people are single, £258 if they are a single parent family and £349 for a couple with two children.
