On price, a local move in the NJ/NY metro area gets billed by the hour, with the rate tied to crew size: a studio or one-bedroom averages around $550, a two-to-three bedroom home around $900, and a larger multi-bedroom house $1,900 or more, with hourly rates running $100 to $200-plus depending on how many movers you need. Moving out of state works differently, priced by weight and distance instead of the clock -- expect a starting point around $2,050 for smaller interstate moves, scaling up with mileage, with a trip to Florida landing between $2,600 and $5,500 or more.
Beyond the base rate, budget for a truck and travel fee to cover the crew's drive to and from Old Tappan, extra charges for heavy or specialty items like pianos or large safes, stair or elevator fees, and packing materials if you're not boxing everything yourself. If you're tipping the crew, a common guideline for a half-day move is around $20 per person.

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.
