Geography, Timing, and Coverage
Delaware Water Gap’s narrow, winding roads, older homes, and tight stairwells can add shuttle fees if a 26-foot truck cannot safely park near the property. Local moves may also carry a separate travel fee or fuel surcharge. Summer moves in the Poconos tend to cost more, while late fall and winter may be cheaper but bring weather delays.
Basic carrier liability is often only $0.60 per pound per item, so ask about full-value protection for higher-value pieces before booking.

Delaware Water Gap refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $74,924 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Pennsylvania report $56,521. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Monroe County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 32% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
