Another way to say "Does not matter" in formal reports

The phrase "does not matter" sounds rather informal to me. I'm writing a formal report and would appreciate alternative suggestions.

For example:

"The residents of City X enjoy favorable living conditions. There is heavy precipitation from time to time. However, this does not matter because most residents have a habit of working from home."

I would recommend using "this is irrelevant".

The residents of City X enjoy favorable living conditions. There is heavy precipitation from time to time. However, this is irrelevant because most residents have a habit of working from home.

The definition of "irrelevant":

not useful or not relating to a particular situation, and therefore not important
The defendant's lawyer argued that his past offenses were irrelevant to this case.

inconsequential- adjective The definition of inconsequential is something unimportant or something that doesn't matter.

"The residents of City X enjoy favorable living conditions. There is heavy precipitation from time to time. However, this is of minor significance/minor importance because most residents have a habit of working from home."

You could also say unimportant

I would say in what way it doesn't matter, for example:

The residents of City X enjoy favorable living conditions. There is heavy precipitation from time to time; this doesn't make the residents' living conditions poorer, because most of them have a habit of working from home.

Why? Because if saw a formal report and it contained a sentence along the lines of "xyz, but this doesn't matter" I'd be inclined to wonder why they bothered mentioning it :)

This is perhaps in part due to my pedantry, and in part due to advancing age and my increasing appreciation for things being spelt out to me.
