Ask about these before booking
Confirm whether travel time is a flat fee or billed as actual hours — some companies double-dip by charging for the drive both ways. Push for a binding, or binding not-to-exceed, estimate; a non-binding quote can legally climb once the crew starts working. Ask if wardrobe or TV boxes are included or billed separately, and check that the company is registered with the Michigan Department of Transportation. Flag long walkways, steep stairs, or tight elevators up front, since these often add a separate fee. Tipping runs about $4 to $6 per mover per hour if the crew does good work.

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 Wayne County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 15% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
