Toilet Repair in Brookville, IN
Brookville sits in the middle of both measures — 60% of housing built before 1990, 75% of households owning their home.
Short version
Tenure in Brookville is close to even, at 75% owner-occupied and 25% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. At 60% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Brookville’s housing suggests
Brookville is a mixed-age town — 60% 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.
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.
