Garbage Disposal Repair in Harlan, KY
Harlan has no dominant housing type, so the local pattern will not tell you whose disposal this is. With detached houses at 58% of the stock, the answer changes from one street to the next.
The quick answer
No housing type leads in Harlan: detached houses are 58% of the stock and apartments take much of the rest. Whether the disposal is your appliance or the building's therefore depends on your own address rather than the local pattern.

US Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates 2023, table B25024 (units in structure). Based on 2,480 housing units in and around Harlan, occupied or not.
That sits 9 points lower than the Kentucky average, which is the reason we do not publish a single state number and leave it there.
The Census counts this one across all housing units, vacant ones included, so read it as the shape of the local building stock.
Whose disposal is it
The ownership question comes first. A disposal in a rented apartment is normally the building's to repair, and the tenancy usually says so.
From there it is the symptom. Water under the cabinet is the one worth acting on today; the rest can wait a day without getting worse.
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.
