Moving Companies in Houston, IN
Houston, IN is a small unincorporated community in Salt Creek Township, Jackson County, with no local moving companies of its own. Homeowners here rely on regional movers based nearby, often around Seymour, who travel in for the job.
For a local move, a two-person crew with a truck typically runs $100 to $175 per hour, while a three-person crew runs $150 to $230 per hour. Most companies also tack on a flat travel fee or a one- to two-hour minimum to cover the drive out from their base.
Bulky items add to the total too. A heavy piano, a large gun safe or a pool table typically brings an extra flat charge of $150 to $400 or more, since moving them safely takes extra hands and equipment. Mention any oversized items when you book so the quote already accounts for them. Since crews come in from out of town, it is worth confirming a company is properly licensed and insured, and asking whether the hourly quote is binding or just a rough estimate before you sign anything.

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 Jackson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 43% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
