Watch for these add-ons
Most Michigan movers start the clock when the truck leaves their warehouse and stop it when it returns, so you may pay for 30 to 60 minutes of travel time each way on top of the actual moving hours. Get a binding, in-home or detailed virtual estimate rather than a phone quote, since a vague phone number can be inflated later by citing stairs or a long carry that was never disclosed upfront. Standard liability coverage is capped at $0.60 per pound per item, so a broken 30-pound, $1,000 TV would only get you $18 — ask about full value protection for anything valuable. Oak Park also enforces overnight street-parking rules for commercial vehicles, so confirm your mover knows the exact layout of your block before moving day. Tipping is customary at roughly $20 to $40 per mover.

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 Oakland County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
