Small things that affect the bill
- Confirm exactly when the hourly clock starts and stops — many crews bill travel time between their warehouse and your home.
- Pianos, large safes, and other heavy or oversized items usually carry a separate flat-rate surcharge, so mention them upfront.
- Turn on electricity and air conditioning at your new place before the crew arrives, especially in summer heat.
- Reserve a parking spot close to the door if your street or complex is tight — extra walking distance adds to the hourly total.

Olathe 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.
