I’m seeing these in my neighborhood that have already lost all their leaves. I can’t remember what kind of tree they are and is this normal time of year for them to lose their leaves or early?

Maybe water/heat stress given how bad the past couple of weeks have been. I haven't seen any other trees dry out though.

Correction. There are a few trees around here that have dropped most of their leaves. One looks similar to that (growth and bark)... and I think it may be a cherry blossom tree.

It looks like a cherry blossom to me. My reasoning for this is because of the "rings" in the bark, the branch structure also looks really similar to how cherry blossoms look.
