Fairly standard community? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parish

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

'fairly standard community?' is the definition.
'parish' can be an answer for 'community?' (parish is a kind of community). I'm unsure of the 'fairly standard' bit.

'standard community?' is the wordplay.
'standard' becomes 'par' (standard of play in golf).
'community?' becomes 'ish' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'par'+'ish'='PARISH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parish that I've seen before include "administrative district" , "District with own church and clergyman" , "In Louisiana a county" , "Local church community" , "Local government area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
