uninhabited
Completely without residents
Uninhabited describes a place where no one lives.
An uninhabited island has no permanent residents.
The word applies to houses, regions, or entire planets: The spacecraft searched for signs of life on the uninhabited world.
Unlike deserted, uninhabited doesn't imply people were ever there—just that no one is there now.
