By home size, a studio or one-bedroom apartment usually costs $350 to $600 and takes three to four hours. A two- to three-bedroom home runs $950 to $2,350 over five to eight hours.

These hourly figures apply to local moves only — anything out of state is priced by weight and distance instead.

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 Sullivan County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 42% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
