Toilet Repair in Union Grove, NC
Neither figure in Union Grove points one way. 51% of the housing was built before 1990 and 24% of households are renting.
Short version
In Union Grove the split runs 76% owner-occupied against 24% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 51% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Union Grove’s housing suggests
About 51% of homes in Union Grove 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.
