Toilet Repair in Radcliff, KY
Most households in Radcliff rent — 47% of them — in housing that splits either side of 1990, with 69% of it older than that.
Short version
In Radcliff, 47% of occupied homes are rented. That usually puts the toilet on the landlord's side of the line, so a tenant's job is to report the fault rather than to find somebody to fix it. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 69% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Radcliff’s housing suggests
About 69% of homes in Radcliff 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
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
