Moving Companies in Prairie Village, KS
Movers serving Prairie Village and the wider Kansas City metro typically charge by the hour rather than a flat fee, with a standard two-to-three person crew and truck averaging $110 to $150 per hour depending on availability and the time of year.
Total cost still comes down to how much you own. A studio or one-bedroom move generally runs $400 to $700. Two to three bedrooms climbs to $600 to $1,400, and a larger three-to-four bedroom house lands between $900 and $2,800. Five or more bedrooms can push past $2,200 and reach $4,500 or higher.
Crew size is the biggest lever on price - more movers finishes the job faster but raises the hourly rate, so weigh total estimated hours against the rate rather than looking at the hourly number alone. Stairs, elevators, and how far the truck has to park from your door can also stretch the clock, so mention those details when you call for a quote, and get the same breakdown from more than one company before you commit.

Prairie Village 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.
