Hourly pricing and where the total lands
For a local move in Marietta, PA, in Lancaster County, you will usually be quoted by the hour, not a flat project rate. Statewide, a typical local move falls between $476 and $4,224. The bottom of that range comes from a small home, fewer hours on site, and no extra labor.

What pushes a quote higher
Travel time from the crew's depot to your house and back is added on. Pianos, safes, and large workshop gear require more labor. Flights of stairs and long carries from the front door to the parked truck also extend the clock.
How to stay near the low end
A smaller home, fewer hours on site, and simple access keep the estimate low. The lower totals correspond to the shorter time windows shown, so fewer stairs, a short carry to the truck, and no pianos or safes remove the main add-ons.

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 Lancaster County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 31% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
