Answered for McCordsville, Hancock County.
Common on Indiana maple and linden in mid-summer. In McCordsville, the canopy is almost entirely developer plantings on former corn and soybean ground, young enough that overall cover is thin compared with older Indianapolis suburbs; the genuinely large trees are leftovers — fencerow and creek-bottom hardwoods along Fall Creek and toward Geist, plus the yard trees around the 1865 village core. McCordsville was not in the Indiana DNR street tree sample and has no published inventory; note that Callery pear, heavily used in subdivisions of this vintage, was still legal to sell in Indiana as of 2026 despite a pending proposal to ban it. Rarely a health problem for a mature tree.

Sticky honeydew on everything under the tree, curled leaves, ants running up the trunk, sooty mould following.
Rarely a health problem for a mature tree. It's a nuisance problem — the honeydew is what makes people call.
Usually resolves on its own as predators build up. Treatment is for the mess, not the tree.
