| Home Size | Typical Cost |
|---|---|

| 1-Bedroom | $750 - $900 |
| 2-Bedroom | $1,200 - $1,600 |

Fees beyond the base rate
If the truck can't park within 50 to 75 feet of your door, expect a long-carry charge of roughly $75 to $150 for every extra 50 feet. Stairs or heavy items like a piano or safe typically add a flat $150 to $600 or more per item. Letting the crew pack your boxes also raises labor hours, so packing non-fragile items yourself ahead of time keeps costs down. Always get a binding, not-to-exceed estimate in writing rather than a verbal guess.

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 Cumberland County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
