Moving beyond 100 miles switches the math to weight and distance rather than the clock, with jobs beginning around $1,305 on the low end and rising above $7,395 once you're moving a bigger household's worth of belongings.
A few things worth knowing before you book: movers legally can't carry propane, gasoline, or other hazardous chemicals, so plan on transporting those yourself. Standard liability covers just $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a $1,000 television at 30 pounds is worth only $18 if it's damaged, so ask about fuller coverage for anything valuable. Tipping isn't required but is customary: think $4 to $6 an hour for each mover, or a combined 15% to 20% of the total invoice divided among the crew.

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.
