Avonworth School District covers 10.54 square miles between I-79, I-279, and Route 65. It takes 10 minutes to travel to the city of Pittsburgh on I-279 and Route 65. Within this land are the boroughs of Ben Avon, Ben Avon Heights, Emsworth, along with the Townships of Ohio and Kilbuck.

Population ​

These boroughs have a total population of 8,716 according to the 2000 US Census. This is a decline of 3.9% from the population in 1980, which was 9,077 people. The decline in population is consistent with Allegheny County's decline of 11.6% during the same time period.

Land

Ohio Township accounts for 65% of the school's land, which is mostly rural and has great potential for more development. Housing stock increase began with the growth of the Diamond Run Golf Community, that is concentrated within the township. The three boroughs though, are more residential and do not have the same potential. Kilbuck Township contains 24% of the district's land, but only has a small fraction of the population (8.4%). The township has had a 40% decrease in population over twenty years.
