What to Budget
Local crews average around $199 an hour. Totals scale mostly with home size: a studio or one-bedroom runs $533 to $1,098, a two-bedroom $1,112 to $1,711, a three- or four-bedroom $2,480 to $4,362, and a five-bedroom-plus home $4,325 to $6,654. Labor-only rates, if you just need loading or unloading help, run $80 to $200 an hour, with typical jobs totaling $330 to $730.
Nearly every company enforces a two- to three-hour minimum, so a fast one-bedroom job still costs the full block. Rates climb during the May-through-September season, partly driven by the college calendar. Ask whether travel time to and from your address is billed hourly or as a flat fee, and keep propane, house paint, and other restricted items out of the truck, since movers cannot legally carry them. Coverage included by default is thin, about $0.60 per pound per item, so weigh that against fuller protection for anything valuable.

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 Warren County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 35% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
