unserved
Not yet helped
Unserved describes people, areas, or needs that have not received service or attention.
It appears most often in discussions of infrastructure and social programs, where unserved communities lack access to utilities, broadband internet, or other essential services.
An unserved market is one that businesses have not yet reached or addressed.
The term implies a gap waiting to be filled rather than a deliberate exclusion.
