I haven't seen detailed analysis but intuitively I think Matt Yglesias's sense that the big swing was in very white "favored quarter" suburbs is correct. The Waylands of the country and not the Woburns.

Sounds right. In Rhody we had wealthy Republican enclaves like East Greenwich totally flip. The 3 $100k+ median household income towns all swung considerably toward Dems. Meanwhile they seem to be losing the poorer white inner-ring suburbs like Johnston.
