Before you book, keep this in mind
- Billing often starts the second a crew pulls out of their own base, running until they get back, so choosing a company situated near Wolcott trims that travel-time padding.
- Rates drop on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, and during late fall or winter.
- Pack every loose item into a box beforehand — unboxed lamps or garage gear that the crew has to pack themselves adds hourly time to the bill.
- Basic liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV worth $1,000 nets just $18 if damaged; ask about fuller coverage for valuables.
- Make sure there's a clear, legal spot for the truck right outside — if it has to park down the street, the extra carrying time adds hours to the 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 Naugatuck Valley Planning Region 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.
