Rates tend to ease from October through March, when fewer households are booking crews and schedules open up. Local jobs usually stay within the same metro area or under 100 miles, and many movers add a travel or fuel fee on top of labor.

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 Dauphin County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
