Timing has a real effect on your quote too: a studio or one-bedroom job usually takes two to four hours, while a two-to-three-bedroom home runs four to eight hours, so ask each company how they estimate hours before you commit.
Some local companies also offer packing help alongside the base hourly rate, so it is worth asking what is included before comparing two quotes side by side.

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 Livingston County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
