Local quirks you shouldn't skip
Maplewood's streets are tight, especially near the Village and the train station, so if the truck needs to block a lane, check with the township about a temporary no-parking permit first. If you're moving into a condo or managed building, they'll almost always want a Certificate of Insurance from your mover naming the building as insured, so ask for it a week ahead. Don't skip the fine print, either: long-carry fees, stair charges, and heavy-item surcharges aren't always in the base quote, so ask directly. And always push for a binding not-to-exceed estimate, since a non-binding one lets the company charge more if the job runs long. Tolls and fuel costs can be bundled in or billed separately, so clarify that too.

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 Essex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
