The neighbouring village of Higher Kinnerton is across the border in Flintshire. Lower Kinnerton is south of Broughton and to the north west of the village of Dodleston. It is a small agricultural community, which is also home to a local kennel and cattery business.
The population was recorded at 97 in 1801, 94 in 1851, 127 in 1901 and 142 in 1951.[1] In the 2001 census it had a population of 119,[2] increasing to 136 at the 2011 census.[3]
