unpeopled
Lacking any residents
Unpeopled describes a place empty of human inhabitants or presence.
An unpeopled landscape stretches without villages or travelers.
The word can also mean depopulated—made empty of people: War had unpeopled the region.
It carries a literary or formal tone, suggesting wilderness, abandonment, or deliberate emptiness rather than mere low population.
