vacantness

State of barrenness

Vacantness is the quality of being vacant—empty, unoccupied, or devoid of content.

A room has vacantness when no one is in it.

The word also captures mental or emotional emptiness: the vacantness in her eyes, the vacantness of his expression.

Less common than vacancy, it tends toward describing states rather than physical spaces.
