Toilet Repair in Mililani, HI
Neither figure in Mililani points one way. 59% of the housing was built before 1990 and 20% of households are renting.
Short version
In Mililani the split runs 80% owner-occupied against 20% 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 59% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Start by naming the symptom precisely, because the four common ones have nothing in common mechanically. A tank that never stops refilling, a handle that does nothing, water appearing at the floor and a flush that needs two goes are four separate repairs.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
