Toilet Repair in Claremore, OK
Neither figure in Claremore points one way. 51% of the housing was built before 1990 and 25% of households are renting.
Short version
75% of occupied homes in Claremore 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 51% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Claremore’s housing suggests
51% of Claremore’s 20,208 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
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.
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.
