One common mistake is comparing a full-service quote to a labor-only quote as if they're the same thing. If you already have a rented truck or container and just need help loading and unloading, labor-only help runs closer to $80 to $95 per hour, with typical job minimums between $360 and $830 total — a very different number than a full crew-and-truck quote. Always confirm which type of service a quote actually covers before comparing prices between companies, and ask whether packing is included or billed separately. It's also worth asking whether the quoted hourly rate already reflects the size of your home, since a two-person crew moving a larger place can end up costing more in total hours than a three-person crew would.

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 Walworth County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 32% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
