The main thing to take into account about it is that the Democratic part of it isn't really growing much simply because it can't, those small suburbs in the southern part are already fully developed and there's not really any place to build more housing. However even the Republican areas of it had a nasty swing against Trump...but whether this is part of a permanent trend or just a one-time occurrence remains to be seen. It is safe to say that the people moving to the northern part of it aren't as Republican as they were 10 years ago of course and are likely more educated than was traditionally the case, this used to be thought of as a pretty blue collar county. (And still is relatively speaking, which is why it doesn't vote like Dakota or Washington counties.)
Based on that sort of ambiguity I can't rate it anything other than pure tossup.
