I can’t actually find any definition of “quarters”, but the definition
that people have used in this thread fits with the definition of
“suburb” as used within OSM.

It’s not helped by the multiple definitions of “suburb”: Either a
separate city (legally) which is in a sense a “satellite” of a larger
one, or merely a subsection of a city.  The relevant wikipedia article
explains it fairly well.
