E.g. The category of "Most Devout" is "Religiousness." The category of "Most Subsidized Industry" is "Business Subsidization." The category of "Most Avoided" can't be "Most Avoided."
Similarly, the category name shouldn't suggest the opposite of what it measures, i.e. not "Attractiveness."
Some valid possibilities from the current description are Ghastliness, Inhospitality (Inhospitableness?), and Charmlessness.

How about "inhospitality"?
EDIT: I didn't see it was already mentioned.
EDIT2: I suppose there's also "avoidability."

Yeah, I guess "Avoidedness" doesn't sound very catchy.The Blaatschapen wrote:Do you have one or more suggestions to what it should be renamed?
While the Analysis names usually avoid using the word "Most", it does appear in "Most Pro-Market". (For some reason - I think just "Pro-Market" would be fine for that one.)[violet] wrote:The new name shouldn't have the word "Most" in it.

Yeah, that sounds about like what we're looking for, shame about the awkward grammar. Is there any word that means the same thing but doesn't start with a negation?Leppikania wrote:Isn't it "inhospitability"?
Nah, that's how easy it is to avoid. There are places that you really want to avoid but you don't get a choice in the matter. And places that are very easy to bypass but why would you bother trying?Morndul wrote:EDIT2: I suppose there's also "avoidability."
"Appallingness"?Phydios wrote:[v], you could do "nonappealingness", which is actually a word according to Google. Kind of clunky and fake-sounding, though.

Phydios wrote:The issue with "avoidability" is that it actually tells you how easy it to avoid something (compare with "portability"), not how likely it is to be avoided.
