Toilet Repair in Lake Milton, OH
Lake Milton sits in the middle of both measures — 69% of housing built before 1990, 78% of households owning their home.
Short version
Tenure in Lake Milton is close to even, at 78% owner-occupied and 22% 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 69% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Lake Milton’s housing suggests
About 69% of homes in Lake Milton 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
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
