One in three homes in Scotland do not meet the Living Home Standard, new research has revealed.
Shelter Scotland, who published the report, said the findings highlight a housing divide in Scotland that needs to be urgently addressed.
It found young people, families with children, renters and people on low income were most likely to live in homes that did not meet the standard.
The Living Home Standard is based on five areas: affordability, decent conditions, space, stability and neighbourhood.
In the report, Graeme Brown director of Shelter Scotland, wrote: 'The headline conclusion is that around one third of homes in Scotland do not meet people’s expectations in at least one of those five ways. The main gaps lie in decent conditions and in affordability.
'Broadly, people feel their homes offer enough space, security and a decent neighbourhood but are not yet good enough in quality and how much they cost compared to their incomes.'
