Moving Companies in Fort Scott, KS
Fort Scott sits in a smaller Bourbon County market, so many people booking a move end up working with crews based out of Kansas City or Wichita rather than a shop in town.
Statewide Kansas data puts a full move cost anywhere from $548 to $2,386, depending on home size and distance. Local jobs are billed hourly: crews typically run $90 to $150 per hour, averaging around $110 for a two- to three-person team and a truck.
| Home Size | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-Bedroom | $400 – $900 |
| 2–3 Bedroom Home | $1,000 – $2,500 |
| Long-Distance Move | $2,500 – $5,000+ |
Moves crossing state lines or running past 100 miles switch to weight-and-mileage pricing instead of the hourly rate. Renting a truck yourself and hiring hourly labor only to load and unload is the usual way to trim the bill.

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 Bourbon County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 66% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
