Got the worst of a poor quarter (6)
I believe the answer is:
ghetto
'a poor quarter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'got the worst' is the wordplay.
'got the' can be anagrammed to 'GHETTO'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ghetto that I've seen before include "In the -- (Elvis Presley)" , "Slum area occupied by particular group" , "Ethic quarter" , "Restricted quarter" , "Needy part of city" .)
