Before booking, get quotes from more than one provider and ask each one to walk through your home, in person or by video, rather than relying on a rough phone estimate, since that's what makes an estimate binding and reliable. Be specific about your home's square footage or number of bedrooms and whether the move is local or out of state, since both details change the crew size and hours a company will plan for, which is the biggest driver of your final bill.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Lower Connecticut River Valley Pl rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
