Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25024 (units in structure), 2023 release. Universe: 2,418 housing units, including vacant ones, across the ZIP code areas covering Union City.
Against Indiana as a whole that is 4 points lower — a real gap rather than a rounding one.
Counted over housing units including vacant ones — the correct universe for a question about building type, and a different one from a household count.
Whose disposal is it
Check the tenancy before the trap. A repair a landlord owes you is not one to pay for yourself.
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.
