Local factors worth knowing
Never treat a phone quote as final — make sure your estimate is binding or binding not-to-exceed. Guilford's narrow historical roads, tight driveways, and shoreline properties can keep a large truck from reaching your home, which may mean a shuttle fee. Movers typically include a baseline carry distance of 50 to 75 feet from your door to the truck; a third-floor walk-up or a long walk across a lawn usually adds extra charges. Basic liability covers only $0.60 per pound, so a damaged 30-pound, $1,000 TV nets just $18, so consider Full Value Protection for anything valuable. Tipping runs $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day job, or $50 to $100 for a demanding full day.

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 South Central Connecticut Plannin rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 21% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
