Toilet Repair in Sharon, SC
In Sharon, 87% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 47% of it is older than that.
Short version
87% of occupied homes in Sharon are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. At 47% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Sharon’s housing suggests
About 47% of homes in Sharon 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 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.
