sparseness
Quality of scatteredness
Sparseness is the quality of being thinly scattered or in short supply.
It describes insufficient density or quantity: the sparseness of vegetation in the desert, the sparseness of data made conclusions difficult.
The word emphasizes lack or scarcity rather than the spacing itself.
