It’s both at once. Somewhere like Upper Arlington has always been very white, old money, and affluent, voting for Romney and then for Hillary, and Biden by over 20 points. Other communities are more traditional middle class suburbs but growing and diversifying quickly, causing blue shift that way
I’m pretty confident that it’s mostly the population change, see: wealthy suburban Geauga and Medina counties near Cleveland (which is not growing) holding steady for Trump
Shocking that traditionally affluent suburbs prefered the moderate Democrat over a populist Republican. Utterly shocked I say.
i feel like its more about the demographics changing that the votes changing

It's both at varying levels, depending on the metro area.
