not widespread

It was not at all widespread.
or: It was very much in the minority.
or: It was only so in rare cases.

Or you can make it explain it a bit more - e.g. 'this was only the case for/with a small minority of people'.
Or even turn it round completely: 'this was not true for the majority'.
