Ways to save
Book mid-month and mid-week rather than the end of the month or peak season, from May through September, when quotes can run 20% to 40% higher. Give a thorough, honest inventory during a video or in-person walkthrough so the estimate doesn't get revised upward on moving day. Stonington's narrow historic streets and tight corners, especially around the Borough and Mystic, can mean a shuttle fee if a large truck can't reach your door; ask the mover if they've scouted your street. Basic coverage only pays about $0.60 per pound per item, so a 50-pound, $1,000 television that's dropped nets just $30; weigh whether Full Value Protection is worth it. Movers also won't carry propane, gasoline, or other hazardous items, so plan to move those yourself, and pack a first-night box of essentials in your own car.

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 Southeastern Connecticut Planning rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 38% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
