Local crews typically charge $90 to $150 an hour for a two-person team, with a studio move starting around $550 and a larger, multi-bedroom home running $900 to $1,900 or more. If you're supplying your own truck and just need labor, hourly help averages around $85. Local labor-only work specifically in Carlstadt runs $339.56 to $739.66.

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 Bergen County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 11% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
