Adding full packing service to any of these tiers typically adds another $300 to $1,200 or more, depending on how much needs to be boxed up. Compare quotes side by side to see whether each one already includes packing, travel time, and truck fees, since those extras are what usually separate a low bid from the final invoice. Getting a written, itemized quote rather than a verbal number also makes it far easier to hold a company to its estimate once moving day arrives, especially if your crew size or home layout changes between the initial call and the actual move.

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 Porter County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 33% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
