Toilet Repair in Maupin, OR
Maupin is mixed on both counts: 68% of its housing predates 1990, and 67% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
In Maupin the split runs 67% owner-occupied against 33% 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 68% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Maupin’s housing suggests
About 68% of homes in Maupin 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
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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
