In this area of the country, Democrats who have either moved over entirely or that vote for Republicans on the national level usually seem concerned about the Democrat Party stance on abortion, their perceived lack of concern for persons who live in rural areas/"those red states", etc, and their perceived lack of respect for religion. Those are just a few of the issues I hear mentioned.

By the same person?

Same multiple persons, yes.

Again, I don't think they are single issue people.
I think it is more along the lines of they have realized the Democrat Party does not have as much to offer them, and may have even pivoted away from their values.

That would depend on which values (i.e., issues) are important to them,

I would imagine that those living in the nearby city might look at their
crime rates, police brutality, etc., and realize it has not gotten any
better (but worse) over several decades of Democrats as mayor, which might
make them start looking elsewhere. They may also be concerned about other things listed above.

Returning to the original subject of why some seemingly well educated
persons in minority groups might turn Republican, I see several of those
issues brought up. Not just one.

I could imagine a lot of things.
