Toilet Repair in Danville, NH
In Danville, 95% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 47% of it is older than that.
Short version
95% of occupied homes in Danville 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 Danville’s housing suggests
Danville is a mixed-age town — 47% 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
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.
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.
