Chetton is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England.

It is not unusual for small civil parishes such as Chetton to have dwindling populations.

Many young people living in such areas find it hard to gain employment and social events for the younger generations are limited resulting in many migrating in search of better opportunities in the city.

In contrast to this Chetton's population density has not fluctuated at all, if anything it has very slightly decreased.

This had been a total decrease of 23% since 1801, which for such a small parish is a considerable amount of decrease compared to other towns and villages in Shropshire; however in the ten years to 2011 the population has started to increase again.

[7] Since the data from the 1881 census was published the population density of Chetton has steadily increased ever since.

Compared to the population density of England and Wales which has stayed the same and slightly decreased around the 1900 but then increased soon after.

Many of these houses used to be owned by farmers who used to make their living out of agriculture, whether it would be growing and selling crops such as wheat, oats and grain or farming cattle, sheep or chickens.

Chetton is accessible by various country lanes but all these roads connect to the B4364 and the B4368.
