Pitfalls Worth Avoiding
- Don't book off a vague phone quote — get an itemized estimate so the final price isn't a surprise.
- Ask about stair, long-carry, and heavy-item fees before moving day, not after the truck shows up.
- Verify any company is properly bonded and insured rather than assuming a listing means it's vetted.

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 Calhoun County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 40% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
