Industry term for small ass cities?

I'm writing my resume after my summer internship at the moment, and I did some work on some properties that are not in major cities (but still large properties $10m+). Is it called "tertiary markets"?

Here's my sentence:

• Assisted in creating CIMs for properties in tertiary markets by conducting research and analyzing demographic information

These cities are 10-30k pop. Not looking for "Town/village etc", something more investment-term like?

Why do you need to put where they were? Just put the # of deals and the dollar volume.

"Who am I? I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy."

I'd be careful with this since that opens you up to LIHTC/NMTC financing, Op Zones, and potential EB5 capital structuring and if you were just doing a standard term loan/cmbs capital structuring not using those source of funds, you may want to steer clear of "rural" and "low density".
