What Chesterton is built of
In a town of detached houses, the disposal under your sink is yours — your machine, on your drain line, with nobody else's kitchen upstream of it. That is simpler than it sounds, because a repeat clog here is about your own habits and your own pipework rather than a shared stack.

The Indiana average runs 4 points lower, so this town is not typical of its state.
Note the denominator: housing units, not households. Vacant units are in it, which is the right basis for a question about buildings.
Whose disposal is it
Check the tenancy before the trap. A repair a landlord owes you is not one to pay for yourself.
The symptom does most of the diagnosis here. A motor that hums without turning is the most common call and often the easiest thing to clear.
And before any of that, the thing that prevents most of these calls: what should not go down it. Grease and fibrous waste cause more disposal failures than wear does.
