Definition

A Zoom town is a small community that is growing quickly due to the rise of remote work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, journalists noticed that many newly-remote workers were moving out of cities and into less-urban areas. Combining the name of the Zoom video conferencing app with the term "boom town," journalists dubbed these quickly-growing rural communities "Zoom towns."
