What Shapes a Move in Slatington
Price is often the first filter for a Slatington move. The borough sits in the Lehigh Valley, and neighboring townships such as Lower Nazareth and Hanover Township shape a market where moves range from short household jobs within one ZIP code to interstate relocations. Home size and route distance create the widest cost gaps.
Billing changes with distance. Under 100 miles, most work is charged hourly; at 100+ miles or across state lines, weight, volume, and distance drive the estimate. For hourly local moves, loading and unloading time has the biggest effect on the final bill.

Slatington refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country replaces them almost one for one. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.68 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.64), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $64,553 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Pennsylvania report $67,705. 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 Lehigh County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
