Permits, Parking, and Building Access
Fairmount streets like Green Street, Wallace Street, and Fairmount Avenue are tightly parked. A Temporary No-Parking permit is required. The digital approval alone is not enough: you must bring the printed approval to the local police district to receive physical signs, then post them 24 to 48 hours ahead. Apply at least four business days before the move.
Historic three-story brick rowhomes and walk-up Victorians often have spiral stairs, tight turns, and low ceilings. Measure large pieces ahead, and tell movers if hoisting is needed.
Managed buildings near the Art Museum or Kelly Drive often require a Certificate of Insurance listing the building. Request it at least a week before the move. Avoid rush hours around Kelly Drive, Fairmount Avenue, and the 33rd Street/Schuylkill Expressway corridors. Tuesday–Thursday and mid-month dates tend to cost less and have lighter traffic.
Check contracts for long-carry, stair, and fuel or travel charges.

Fairmount refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $70,041 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Pennsylvania report $65,744. 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 Philadelphia County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 10% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
