Orange County was the centerpiece of Reagan's coalition and Texas suburbia was the centerpiece of Bush's coalition. Where will be the next conservative suburbia be?

In growing metros, there's always the next place just further from the downtown.  Montgomery County, TX is the single biggest county for netting the GOP votes in the country.  It probably includes a non-negligible number of conservatives who once lived in inner suburbs in Harris County.  For a similar dynamic, look at Cherokee County relative to Cobb County outside of Atlanta.

Don't think can really say much off one election.   Trump barely won Suffolk County (0.03%), and lost Nassau County by 9.5% (a county the GOP hasn't won or come within 5 points in for President since 1988

Are there any exurban areas trending Republican with a combination of the modern Republican coalition which includes a more diverse racial demographic, but generally is more working class?

Eastern Harris County in TX comes to mind along with Miami-Dade and Clark County, NV.

I mean, there is quite a lot of very conservative suburbia out there. One example which really springs to mind is suburban Nashville, which is over a congressional district's worth of quite right-wing suburbanites.

Are you looking for newly suburban areas?

This.  The reason that suburbs are (super) conservative in the first place largely has TO DO WITH the fact that they're outer/newer suburbs.  The "exurbs" are just as Republican as they've ever been (or at least almost), they're just moving out.
