A possible target would be paper mill towns or similar. They tend to be rural to be close to the wood supply, but having a staff of engineers means there is a chance for a tech component to the population. I grow up in a small town in Maine, 1500 people in 45 square miles. The next town over from the mill town. Our regional HS had a strong science/math component again connected to the engineering population I think. Interestingly, cable was so late in getting to my town that when it arrived it was cheaper to run fiber than copper, so my parent's have fiber to the house, excellent internet speeds. I have been able to work very functionally in my software engineering job from there.
