endemically

Native to region

Endemically describes something occurring in a way that is native or constantly present in a particular place or population.

A disease that spreads endemically exists at a baseline level in a region rather than arriving in epidemic waves: Malaria occurs endemically in tropical climates.

The word extends to persistent social conditions: Corruption operates endemically in the system.
