Before You Book
Get a written estimate rather than a phone quote, and confirm whether it's binding or can change once the crew sees your inventory in person. Ask specifically about crew size, since that's the biggest driver of your hourly rate.
Walk through every room, closet, and the garage before the estimate so nothing gets left off the inventory. A mover who skips this step and quotes off a quick phone description is more likely to revise the price upward once the crew actually arrives and sees what's involved.

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.
