    I think you misunderstood what was written:

    The Katsurao village official said about 337 square kilometers of land in seven Fukushima municipalities are deemed “difficult-to-return” zones. Of those, just 27 square kilometers in six of the same municipalities are specified reconstruction zones.

    27 km² are the worst areas. The other 310km² are still “difficult-to-return”.

      You should read more of the article it’s difficult to return to because even though it’s save ( the radiation level is less than 2 CT scans a year ) people worry about the radiation, have built lives elsewhere.
