Ways to Trim the Bill
If your budget is tight, renting your own truck and hiring local labor just for loading and unloading can cut the cost significantly, since you are only paying for hours worked rather than a full-service package. Ask upfront whether the hourly rate quoted includes the truck fee or bills it separately, and get a clear answer on how many hours a crew your size usually needs for a home like yours. Having everything boxed, labeled, and staged near the door before the crew arrives also keeps the clock from running on tasks you could have handled yourself.

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 Lewis County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
