A container drop-off option, where a company leaves a portable container at your address for you to load and then drives it to your new place, often lands as a cheaper middle ground between full-service and a DIY truck rental.
Home size is the main factor movers use to size the crew and estimate hours, so knowing roughly how many rooms and how much furniture you have before you call speeds up getting an accurate number.
The right option comes down to how much of the labor you want to handle yourself: full-service costs the most but takes the least effort, a rental truck costs the least but means you load, drive, and unload everything solo, and a container sits in between — you load it, someone else drives it to your new address.

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.
