It's another Macomb. If you're looking for D trends in the Cleveland metro, look south and southeast, not northeast or west.
This would include:
the southernmost tier of Cuyahoga suburbs (Strongsville-North Royalton-Broadview Heights-Brecksville)
the Medina County suburbs, of which there are really only two (Brecksville and Medina)
the northern Summit County area, which in terms of metro-belonging is ambiguous between Cleveland and Akron
I had a whole thing typed up over Ohio somewhere. I'm not sure where it is, but the main point was to look for the "Iowa-like" areas in Ohio.
The actual weirder county in the Cleveland metro area is actually Geagua and how it didn't even Trend Democratic from 2016. Only guess I have is increased Amish turnout cancelled out the usual suburban trend in the western part of the county.
It's not weird.
There's just not that much suburbia there. And the little bit that is there is of a very rural type.
