inaccessibility

State of unavailability

Inaccessibility is the quality of being difficult or impossible to reach, enter, or obtain.

A mountain's inaccessibility makes it challenging to climb; a building's inaccessibility excludes wheelchair users.

The word extends beyond physical barriers: The inaccessibility of healthcare in rural areas remains a serious problem.

Academic writing is often criticized for its inaccessibility to general readers.
