 The population had dropped slightly to 59 by 1901 and had dropped again by 1911, when there were only 36 inhabitants, of whom 18 were male and 18 female.This trend has been reversed in recent years, primarily due to the construction of the new housing area called "Dún na Rí" which was mentioned above, most of whose houses were built in the south-eastern corner of Garraun, just south of the two enclaves of Borris (although some of the houses are actually in a finger of Blackcastle townland which projects into the south-eastern corner of Garraun).It is not possible to give a figure for the population of Garraun townland at the time of the 2011 census, because the website of the Irish Central Statistics Office merges the townland into "small Area number 217145002", which also includes the townlands of Coldfields and Rathmanna (also from Borrisleigh civil parish), as well as those of Loughbeg and Lisduff (from Rahelty civil parish) and Ballygammane (from Thurles civil parish).
