Toilet Repair in Hudson, NC
Hudson is mixed on both counts: 67% of its housing predates 1990, and 75% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
75% of occupied homes in Hudson 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 67% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Hudson’s housing suggests
About 67% of homes in Hudson 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 them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
