'region classed as impoverished?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'alderman to peeve upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' is an anagram indicator.
'alderman'+'to'+'peeve'='aldermantopeeve'
'aldermantopeeve' with letters rearranged gives 'DEVELOPMENT AREA'.
