Toilet Repair in Woodburn, OR
Neither figure in Woodburn points one way. 65% of the housing was built before 1990 and 33% of households are renting.
Short version
67% of occupied homes in Woodburn are owner-occupied and 33% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 65% 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
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
