Moving Companies in Lee S Summit, MO
Lee's Summit Moving Rates
Local movers in the Lee's Summit and Kansas City area price by the hour, and crew size is what moves the number most.
| Crew | Hourly Rate |
|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $150 - $250 |
| 3-4 movers | $200 - $350+ |
| Labor-only (own truck) | ~$80/hour |
Most companies also enforce a 2 to 3-hour minimum, so a short move can still land a $300-$450 baseline bill. Watch for a few add-ons too: a travel fee for the drive to and from the address, surcharges of $100-$300+ for pianos or safes, and separate charges for packing materials without pre-packing. Some crews bill the travel fee as a flat one-time charge, others fold it into the hourly clock, so ask which method applies before moving day.
One detail worth knowing before signing anything: standard coverage pays out just $0.60 per pound per item, so a dropped 30-pound, $1,000 TV would only get $18 — ask about fuller protection if that gap matters.

Lee S Summit 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 (1.57 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.62), 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 $66,396 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Missouri report $57,109. 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 Jackson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 21% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
