What moves the final number
The size of your home matters most, but the day of the week also plays a role, since weekends and the end of the month tend to run more expensive than a mid-week, mid-month booking. Extra flights of stairs and heavy specialty items like a piano or safe are common add-ons that a first quote can easily miss, so walk through your inventory carefully with whichever crew you choose before locking in a final price. Specifying any bulky item ahead of time avoids a surprise fee once the crew is already on site.

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 Lake County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 25% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
