Neighbourhood what you'd expect, more or less (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parish

'neighbourhood' is the definition.

'what you'd expect more or less' is the wordplay.
'what you'd expect' becomes 'par' (par for the course).
'more or less' becomes 'ish' (I've seen this in another clue).
'par'+'ish'='PARISH'

(Other definitions for parish that I've seen before include "Rector's responsibility" , "Unit of local government" , "Local church community" , "Administrative area within a diocese" , "Diocesan subdivision" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
