Moving Companies in Paterson, NJ
Paterson movers price local jobs by the hour, and out-of-state jobs by weight and distance instead. Here is how the two typically break down by home size and total.
| Category | Cost |
|---|---|
| Hourly rate, standard crew | $135/hr |
| Studio / 1-Bedroom (local) | $485 - $900 |
| 2-3 Bedroom (local) | $1,200 - $2,500 |
| Average local move (total) | $1,400 |
| Average long-distance move (~1,000 mi) | $5,450 |
Long-distance totals climb from that average depending on how far the move goes and how much you're bringing, since those jobs are calculated by weight and mileage rather than a flat hourly rate.

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 Passaic County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 16% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
