Fine print to check
- Almost every company enforces a two- to three-hour minimum, so a short job still costs the full block.
- A flat travel fee — often $50 to $150, or the equivalent of an hour of labor — usually covers the drive from dispatch to your home and back.
- If you pack your own boxes, movers are typically only liable for damage to the box itself, not fragile contents inside it.
- Disclose pianos, safes, or hot tubs upfront, and get the hourly rate, travel fee, and insurance terms written down before work starts.

Kansas City refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $43,237 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Kansas report $51,315. 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 Wyandotte County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 25% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
