area

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'district' is the first definition.
(a district is a geographical area)

'where there's a reason to be childless?' is the second definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for area that I've seen before include "Surface measurement" , "topic" , "Region; extent of a surface" , "land" , "Geographical region" .)
