Answered for Fishers, Hamilton County.
Common on stressed honey locust and on trees with mower or string-trimmer damage at the base — which is a genuinely avoidable cause. In Fishers, fishers was not one of the 23 communities in Indiana DNR's street-tree sample inventory, so no verified species breakdown exists for the city. What is documented is that the Tree Board maintains a list of desirable and undesirable species and no species off that list may be planted as a street tree without special permission — the practical picture being a 1990s-2000s nursery palette in tight uniform age classes, with ash gone since EAB was confirmed in Indiana in 2004. A canker that has girdled more than about half the trunk circumference is structural, not cosmetic.

Sunken dead patches on bark, sometimes oozing, often with cracked margins. Branches above the canker die back.
A canker that has girdled more than about half the trunk circumference is structural, not cosmetic. Small branch cankers can be pruned out; trunk cankers usually can't.
Prune out affected branches in dry weather, well below the canker.
