Answered for New Palestine, Hancock County.
Central Indiana's heavy clay and high water table make this common, especially in newer subdivisions where topsoil was stripped. In New Palestine, new Palestine appears in no published street-tree inventory. Because the bulk of the housing is post-1990 subdivision on former cropland, the dominant condition is young-to-middle-aged planted stock, with ash already removed statewide by emerald ash borer. By the time the canopy shows it, the root system is already badly compromised.

General decline, thin canopy, early autumn colour, sometimes mushrooms at the base.
By the time the canopy shows it, the root system is already badly compromised. This is a stability question as much as a health one — a tree with rotten roots can look fine and still come over in a storm.
No cure. Improve drainage, reduce load on the tree, or remove.
