Get a video walkthrough or in-home estimate rather than a phone-only quote, so nothing gets missed. Waunakee's tight streets, apartment rules, and multi-level townhomes can trigger a long-carry or stair fee if the truck can't park close to your door, so mention that upfront. Basic liability covers only about 60 cents per pound per item, meaning a broken 40-pound, $1,000 television might only get you $24 back. Keep medications, documents, chargers and a first-night bag in your own car; movers can't legally transport propane, paint or open aerosols anyway.

Waunakee refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.37 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.45), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $70,365 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Wisconsin report $58,158. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Dane 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.
