You evidently missed this part:

Bikini , atoll, c.2 sq mi (5.2 sq km), W central Pacific, one of the
Ralik Chain, Marshall Islands. It comprises 36 islets on a reef 25 mi
(40 km) long. After its inhabitants were removed (1946) to Rongerik,
Bikini was the scene of 23 U.S. atomic and hydrogen bomb tests
(1946-58). The natives were transferred from Rongerik to Ujelang in
1947 and in 1949 were resettled on Kili.

Now if they were moved far away in 1946....it would appear to be
uninhabited. Is this a true statement?

They were unwillingly relocated so America could vapourise their islands
