What else affects the bill
- Almost every company enforces a three-hour minimum, even if your job takes less time, plus a travel fee for the drive to and from your address.
- Stairs, long carries, or a piano or safe can each add a $50 to $150 or more line item.
- Standard liability coverage is thin, often 60 cents per pound per item, so ask about full-value 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 Jefferson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
