disadvantageousness
State of unfavorability
The quality of being unfavorable or detrimental.
A formal, rarely used noun for when something puts you at a disadvantage: The disadvantageousness of the location became clear only after we'd signed the lease.
Most speakers would choose a simpler alternative like "drawback" or "downside."
