Garbage Disposal Repair in Richardson, TX
Richardson has no dominant housing type, so the local pattern will not tell you whose disposal this is. With detached houses at 54% of the stock, the answer changes from one street to the next.
The quick answer
No housing type leads in Richardson: detached houses are 54% 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 47,827 housing units in and around Richardson, occupied or not.
Texas statewide sits 4 points lower on detached housing, which is why the town figure is the one published here.
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
Establish responsibility first. In rented housing the disposal is generally a fixture the landlord maintains.
Next, what you are actually hearing. Silence and a hum are different faults with different fixes, and confusing them wastes a visit.
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.
