Moving Companies in Hiawatha, KS
Hiawatha is small enough that most movers driving in come from Topeka, Manhattan, or Kansas City, which affects both scheduling and price.
Local hourly rates in Kansas average $100 to $150 per hour for a two- to three-person crew and truck. A studio or one-bedroom runs $350 to $700, while a three-bedroom home typically costs $1,200 to $2,500 or more. Long-distance moves out of the area are priced by weight and mileage instead, usually $2,000 to $5,500 or higher depending on how much you're shipping.
Because crews are traveling in from out of town, ask whether the clock starts when they leave their warehouse — a portal-to-portal travel fee can tack on an extra couple hours of labor. Also confirm you're getting a binding, not-to-exceed estimate, and check whether standard coverage, just $0.60 per pound per item, is enough or whether full value protection makes sense for you.

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 Brown County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 79% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
