What to watch for
If a truck can't park right at your entrance, common with Salisbury's historic homes and narrow lanes, expect a long-carry or shuttle charge. Booking mid-month on a Tuesday or Wednesday, rather than a weekend at month-end, tends to run noticeably cheaper. Give an accurate inventory during an in-person or video walkthrough to avoid overage charges, and ask upfront whether stairs, heavy items, fuel, and long carries are bundled into a flat fee or billed separately.

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 Northwest Hills Planning Region rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 41% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
