Toilet Repair in Farmland, IN
Farmland sits in the middle of both measures — 70% of housing built before 1990, 75% of households owning their home.
Short version
75% of occupied homes in Farmland are owner-occupied and 25% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 70% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Farmland’s housing suggests
About 70% of homes in Farmland 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.
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.
