Toilet Repair in Heath Springs, SC
Neither figure in Heath Springs points one way. 50% of the housing was built before 1990 and 22% of households are renting.
Short version
78% of occupied homes in Heath Springs are owner-occupied and 22% 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 50% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Heath Springs’s housing suggests
Heath Springs is a mixed-age town — 50% of its homes were built before 1990. That puts a pre-standard fixture somewhere around even odds before you look at anything.
Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

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.
