How many people live in Bannockburn, and is it growing?

The Census Bureau estimates that 1,308 people lived in Bannockburn on July 1, 2025, down 5.8% since 2020, a steeper fall than Illinois's (−0.8%). The Census Bureau's yearly estimates start from its own April 2020 base for Bannockburn, 1,389, which differs from the 2020 Census count of 1,013: the estimates follow the place as the estimates program defines it today (its present boundaries, and for a consolidated city-county the area the program assigns it), so the change since 2020 is measured from that base. The 2020-2024 American Community Survey, a five-year sample, puts the population at 1,148 (±155).

How reliable are the figures for Bannockburn?

22 of the 56 figures for Bannockburn on this page carry a coefficient of variation over 40% and are marked with a ring: they come from a small sample, so read them as rough.

The American Community Survey samples about one household in eight over five years, so every figure is an estimate with a 90% margin of error (shown under each value). A ring marks an estimate whose coefficient of variation is over 40%. A change is called only when the gap between the two periods is larger than their combined 90% margin (the square root of the sum of the two squared margins), the Census Bureau's test.
