Hourly rates in Orange average $120 to $140 for a standard two-person crew. Long-distance moves out of state instead start around $2,200 and climb with weight and mileage. Most companies enforce a minimum charge of three hours no matter how small the job, and some start billing the moment the truck leaves their warehouse; ask when the clock starts and stops. Basic liability coverage pays out only about $0.60 per pound per item if something breaks. A cash tip in the range of $20-$40 per mover is standard for a half-day, climbing to $50+ on a full one. Ask whether packing materials are included in the estimate or billed separately, since boxes and tape can add to the final invoice.

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.
