In the Deep South, I would have said Florence/Muscle Shoals, but not sure that's true anymore. The region's TVA and industrial heritage lent itself to Democrats lasting a lot longer there than they did elsewhere in Alabama. Heck, Dems came within 2% of defeating an incumbent Republican Senator up there in 2018.

Expanding the geography a little, I would say Nelson County, Virginia. Slightly lower than US average Bachelor's degree attainment, heavily White, but Democrats are still competitive there.

But it could be something in Western North Carolina too as others have mentioned. Not sure if I would call Buncombe rural, but a few of the working class rurals around there give downballot Democrats decent numbers.
