Toilet Repair in Boonville, NY
Neither figure in Boonville points one way. 68% of the housing was built before 1990 and 28% of households are renting.
Short version
Tenure in Boonville is close to even, at 72% owner-occupied and 28% 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 68% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Boonville’s housing suggests
About 68% of homes in Boonville 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
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
