Moving Companies in Shawnee, KS
Local moves in the Shawnee/Kansas City metro area are billed hourly for a truck and crew, typically two to four movers depending on home size. Expect $90 to $150 or more per hour for a full crew, or around $90 an hour if you just need labor to load or unload a truck you've rented. Full packing service adds roughly $300 to $700 or more on top of the move itself.

Before you sign
- Ask for a written quote that spells out the hourly rate, any travel fee, and whether packing is included before you commit to a date.
- Confirm the crew size the quote assumes — a job that needs an extra mover to move quickly will run past the estimated hours shown above.
- If you're adding full packing service, ask whether it's billed as a flat add-on or folded into the hourly total.

Shawnee 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.
