Based on analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the estimated population of Burraneer as of Nov 2025 is around 12 people. This reflects a decrease of 6 people from the 2021 Census figure of 18 people, indicating a 33.3% reduction in population since then. The change can be inferred from AreaSearch's estimated resident population (ERP) for Burraneer, which is 3,832 as of June 2024, and the validation of an additional 17 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 8.3 persons per square kilometer in Burraneer, providing ample space per person.

The population growth in Burraneer was primarily driven by balanced factors across natural increase and migration patterns.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Anticipating future population dynamics, Burraneer is projected to show a modest increase in population, with the area expected to increase by 1,040 persons to reach an estimated total of 1,567 people by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an overall increase of 25.1% over the 17-year period from 2024 to 2041.
