Toilet Repair in Scottsburg, IN
Scottsburg sits in the middle of both measures — 58% of housing built before 1990, 68% of households owning their home.
Short version
68% of occupied homes in Scottsburg are owner-occupied and 32% 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 58% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Scottsburg’s housing suggests
Roughly 58% of housing here predates 1990 and 22% was built from 2000 onwards, so Scottsburg has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
