Analysis# Burundi Population Analysis
Burundi's population of 14.0 million (2024) reflects sustained high growth despite a 30-year recovery period following the 1993-2005 civil conflict, with the 30.07% decade-to-decade expansion indicating continued fertility above replacement levels. The nation's rank of #77 globally masks its density challenges—with roughly 422 people per km², Burundi ranks among the world's most densely populated countries, straining agricultural capacity in a landlocked, predominantly rural economy. Peak growth during the 1990s (reaching approximately 3.2-3.5% annually) has moderated to current rates around 2.8
