Answered for Beech Grove, Marion County.
The main reason mature Scotch pine is disappearing from Indiana windbreaks and old Christmas tree plantings. In Beech Grove, beech Grove is one of only 23 Indiana communities in the DNR's 2008 i-Tree STRATUM street tree sample inventory, and its numbers are extreme: of 1,699 inventoried street trees, silver maple was 33.1% — more than triple the 10%-per-species industry guideline — followed by Callery pear 11.5%, apple 10.1%, sugar maple 5.0% and littleleaf linden 5.0%. Those top-heavy silver maples on small lots are the recurring job here. There is no cure once symptoms appear.

The whole tree browns in a single season, often starting on one side. Needles stay attached.
There is no cure once symptoms appear. The tree needs removing promptly — dead pines are a fire and fall risk, and the beetles that carry the nematode breed in the dead wood.
Remove and destroy infected trees before the following spring, when the beetles emerge.
