What to check before booking
- Ask about the travel or fuel surcharge covering the crew's drive to and from your home
- Get a binding estimate in writing so the price can't rise beyond the quote
- Standard liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item — a 50-pound TV that breaks nets just $30, so ask about full value protection for anything pricier
- Book a weekday, mid-month slot to cut hourly rates by 15–20%
- Disassemble beds and clear loose items beforehand since the crew bills by the hour
- Confirm parking is available for a 26-foot truck if your street is narrow

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 Madison County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 34% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
