uninhabitability
Cannot support life
Uninhabitability is the condition of being unfit for people to live in.
The word typically describes places rendered inhospitable by environmental conditions: Climate change threatens the uninhabitability of low-lying coastal regions.
It applies to buildings condemned for safety violations, planets hostile to life, or any space where sustained human presence is impossible.
