Toilet Repair in Chino Hills, CA
Neither figure in Chino Hills points one way. 49% of the housing was built before 1990 and 29% of households are renting.
Short version
In Chino Hills the split runs 71% owner-occupied against 29% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 49% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Chino Hills’s housing suggests
About 49% of homes in Chino Hills predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
