What to Watch For
- California lets movers bill double the drive time between their base, your old place and your new one -- ask how far their office sits before you book.
- Get a full walkthrough of every room and closet, in person or by video, before accepting a quote so nothing gets added as a surprise charge on moving day.
- Basic coverage caps out at $0.60 per pound of an item's weight, so a 40-pound television worth $2,000 only nets you $24 if it's broken -- ask about stronger protection for pricier things.
- A legitimate local mover won't ask for a big cash deposit before the truck arrives at your door.
- Alamo's private roads and HOA neighborhoods often limit truck hours and require proof of insurance, so check with both sides ahead of time.

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 Contra Costa County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
