Fine print
Clock keeps running during the drive between old and new address, not just loading and unloading. Peak season, May through September, and month-end dates: 20-40% higher. Heavy or awkward items, pianos, safes, gym equipment, often carry a separate $100-$400+ fee. Ask for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate, ideally after a video or in-home walkthrough; a purely verbal quote can legally run over. Confirm Connecticut DOT registration before booking. Standard tip: $4-$6 per mover per hour, or 15-20% of the total bill, split among the crew. Older stairwells or low ceilings can also slow the crew down, adding billable hours.

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 Capitol Planning Region rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 20% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
