There are exactly 5 clues within the story that will be used to locate the town. The first clue is in the second sentence. The clues must be combined to solve it, no clue by itself will be any value.

Obviously we're not very good at this.

Or the clues aren’t.

expand your thinking a little. Remember that the 5 clues must be kept in the order they appear in the story in order to locate the town.

[Animal]

and no clue by itself, or without the other 4, would be of any help.

Clues:
1. The town's name is not in the story.
2. Handful of clues in the story.
3. Clues are in sequence to solve the town's name.
4. Town's name has two words.
5. The town has a population less than 10,000.
6. The clues are in the words in the story, not the story itself.
7. The first sentence does not have a clue in it.

8. Once you know the name of the town, you can figure out the clues. ;-D

[Animal]

none of the above guesses are correct. Start putting the clues you are using to make your guess rather than just trying to name the town.

9. What 5 things could i give you that if you put them in order would locate a town in the United States? Start by trying to figure that one out.

I googled "towns with two-word names with under 10,000 people" in hopes that might help.
There are over 15,000.

that's why there are clues in the story that you can use to locate the exact town.

no. But there is an angle to this logic that does apply to solving this.

The great global misevent, an economic collapse that had shifted the world’s priorities, had left her generation with a deep, collective ache for things that felt truly real.

Her latest creation was a large, intricate artwork made from salvaged circuit boards and wires.

It was a piece she had been working on since she was sixteen, a complex mosaic of forgotten tech.

"It's so... slow," he said, his words delivered with a vocal threep—a common verbal tic of their generation.

Jax, like most of their peers, was completely conditioned by the instant gratification of the data stream.

The five clues are in these five sentences. Taken out of the story in order.

Trying to determine if there is a zip code embedded in these lines in some fashion....

He already said they are "words" in the sentences. I assume he meant literal words with no embedded meaning.

Well, sixteen is a word, "three"p is a word. I wondered if there could be a zip code with the numbers 163 in it.
