|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom | $400 – $800 (~$100–$140/hr, 2 movers) |

Fees to Know
Most local movers enforce a two-to-three-hour minimum, plus a flat travel fee of $50 to $100 (or about an hour of labor) to cover the drive from their warehouse and back. Basic liability coverage is minimal, around 60 cents per pound per item, so ask about full-value protection for anything expensive.
A Few Local Tips
Clear pathways and stairs ahead of time, since hourly rates keep running while the crew navigates them. Tipping $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day is standard, and packing your own box of chargers, medications, and toiletries saves you from digging through boxes on night one.

Huntsville refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $74,553 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Alabama report $61,370. 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 Madison County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 36% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
