Ignore poor district (6)
I believe the answer is:
region
'district' is the definition.
(I know that district can be written as region)
'ignore poor' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates an anagram.
'ignore' is an anagram of 'REGION'.
(Other definitions for region that I've seen before include "Area,territory" , "Area having definable character" , "Area, territory" , "Part of a country" , "Ignore (anag) -- expanse of land" .)
