That is one level above the /public_html directory where your site currently resides. Thus there is no need for you to install wordpress in a subdirectory. @Roy: WordPress since v 1.6 allows you to move the wp-config.php file to site root.

I have since removed it (no big reason, I just don't run a lot of plugins) and used some referrer blocking code in htaccess, I get about 20 spam comments a day - all caught by Akisemet, though I still have to go in and empty the spam folder. With no referrer protection, I can get 80 to 100 comments in the spam folder, every day (yikes!). Were I to make my blog all over again, I'd definitely install Wordpress in a subdirectory so I could move wp-config up a level and out of the main Wordpress directory.
