Toilet Repair in Lilburn, GA
Lilburn sits in the middle of both measures — 65% of housing built before 1990, 76% of households owning their home.
Short version
Tenure in Lilburn is close to even, at 76% owner-occupied and 24% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 65% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Lilburn’s housing suggests
About 65% of homes in Lilburn 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
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
