Near Campus
Moves near the University of Alabama can be tighter on timing and parking than elsewhere in town, so it's worth mentioning your street and building layout when you request a quote, since that affects how long the job actually takes. Book early if your date falls during a peak semester turnover week, when local crews tend to fill up fast.

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 Tuscaloosa County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 47% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
