Toilet Repair in Milford, TX
Neither figure in Milford points one way. 62% of the housing was built before 1990 and 32% of households are renting.
Short version
In Milford the split runs 68% owner-occupied against 32% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. At 62% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Milford’s housing suggests
About 62% of homes in Milford 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
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.
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.
