Hiroshima was destroyed in 80% of the buildings. They measured that by the buildings still standing. That they didn't take in consideration was the number of the still standing buildings that served no purpose. Still standing doesn't mean you can use it. As a matter of fact, most of the still standing buildings were destroyed for being not safe for living or housing a manufacturing plant.
