disproportionally

Out of balance

Disproportionally means out of proportion—to a degree that exceeds what's balanced or expected: Minorities are disproportionally affected by the policy.

The word emphasizes an imbalance between two things that should correspond more evenly.

Disproportionately is more common and means the same thing.
