What Irving is built of
Most of the housing here is in buildings rather than houses. That makes the disposal a building fixture in many cases, and makes a recurring clog a building problem rather than a household one.

The Texas average runs 19 points lower, so this town is not typical of its state.
This is measured across every housing unit in the area, occupied or not, because the question is what the buildings are rather than who lives in them.
Whose disposal is it
Whose appliance is it? That decides who pays, and it is worth two minutes with the lease before it is worth a phone call.
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.
