Toilet Repair in China Grove, NC
Neither figure in China Grove points one way. 62% of the housing was built before 1990 and 21% of households are renting.
Short version
Tenure in China Grove is close to even, at 79% owner-occupied and 21% 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. At 62% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of China Grove’s housing suggests
62% of China Grove’s 6,490 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

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.
