Moving Companies in Gardner, KS
Local movers in the Gardner area average about $110 an hour for a standard two- to three-mover crew and truck, with total local moves running $400 to $3,600 or more depending on home size. Renting your own truck instead typically costs $58 to $132 for a short local trip, plus fuel and any extra equipment.
Watch for these
- A mover asking for a large non-refundable cash deposit upfront — say, half the total before the move — is a red flag worth walking away from.
- Heavy items like pianos or oversized safes, flights of stairs, and long carries from your door to the truck often carry separate surcharges, so ask if they're bundled in.
- Basic liability covers only about $0.60 per pound per item — a 50-pound television would be reimbursed just $30 if it's damaged, so ask about full value protection for anything pricier.
- Clearing hallways and disassembling beds yourself ahead of time can shave an hour or two off the final bill, and booking a mid-month, mid-week slot tends to land the best rate.

Gardner refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.59 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.62), 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 $88,281 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Kansas report $60,871. 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 Johnson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
