Moves of roughly 50 miles or more are priced differently — by the weight and volume of your belongings and the distance traveled, rather than by the hour — so ask for a weight-based quote if you are leaving the area entirely.
Either way, get the estimate in writing before moving day. Hourly totals can shift once a crew runs into stairs, tight parking, or extra items that were not mentioned when you first booked, so flag anything unusual up front.

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.
