Soil and ground
Fourmile Branch runs about 0.2 mile from the town centre, and FEMA maps a flood zone within about 0.3 mile. Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at all 5 points; NRCS rates 3 somewhat limited and 2 very limited for septic absorption fields, naming slow water movement and, at 2 points, slope. None of this is a property evaluation, only generalized survey data. Individual lots differ, so each one needs a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 1,261 housing units in Ben Avon. In 2020-2024 ACS estimates the median home was built about 1976, owners occupy about 43 percent of homes and mobile homes are about 3 percent. The before-1980 share has a margin too wide to quote. With rentals close to half the homes, a landlord or a tenant may be the one who calls.
Ben Avon questions
Do Fourmile Branch and Lawsons Fork Creek matter near Ben Avon?
Fourmile Branch is about 0.2 mile and Lawsons Fork Creek about 0.8 mile from the centre, with a mapped FEMA flood zone within 0.3 mile. Wet years can leave low yards soggy. If water stands over your drain field or drains back slowly, call us.
Why do the soils near Ben Avon show both somewhat limited and very limited ratings?
Most of the 5 sampled points are Cecil, but NRCS rates 2 as very limited because the map units there are steeper, up to 25 percent slope. Ratings follow slope and subsoil on the map, not any one property. A site evaluation settles what a lot allows.
