Answered for Speedway, Marion County.
No public street-tree inventory has been published for Speedway, so species counts are UNVERIFIED. Because the residential core finished building out by the mid-1950s and has barely been rebuilt since, much of the yard canopy is likely of comparable age and large enough to close over narrow streets and 40-to-50-foot lots — an inference from build-out dates, not a measured finding. The exception is Main Street, where a town streetscape reconstruction installed all-new landscaping, so those trees are recent. That context matters for american persimmon: american persimmon gets removed in central indiana for essentially one reason: a female tree dropping soft orange fruit onto a driveway, deck, patio or dog run from september into november. Removing an american persimmon around Speedway runs roughly $250–$1,400, and in Old Speedway City (Speedway Historic District), Speedway Manor and Main Street corridor access is usually what decides where in that range you land.

Speedway was laid out in 1912 as a residential suburb by Indianapolis Motor Speedway founders Carl Fisher, James Allison, Frank Wheeler and Arthur Newby — a "horseless city" for auto-industry workers. The Speedway Historic District (41.6 acres, 304 contributing buildings, NRHP September 15, 2005) built out from about 1912 to 1955 in Foursquare and Craftsman bungalow styles; the town then more than doubled, from 5,498 people in 1950 to 14,523 in 1970, and new single-family construction has been close to nil since the 1990s.
Genuinely an Indiana tree — the Mitchell Persimmon Festival in Lawrence County has run since 1947 on wild fruit from trees growing in and around town — and it is most abundant in the southern half of the state. Around Indianapolis it turns up on fencerows, old field edges and lots carved out of pasture far more often than as a nursery planting.
Indiana has no statewide tree removal permit, and no Speedway ordinance requiring a permit to remove a tree on private property is documented in the sources reviewed. Important caveat: Speedway is an excluded town under Unigov and maintains its own municipal code separate from Indianapolis, and the full Speedway code text could not be retrieved, so the exact local text is UNVERIFIED. Marion County's zoning ordinance does state a purpose of protecting and enhancing tree cover and the countywide code carries a "Trees and Flora" chapter, but the section citations are unconfirmed and whether they bind Speedway is unconfirmed. Call the Speedway Street Department before touching anything near the street line.
