| Local labor-only packages | $350–$750 |

What shifts the final bill
- Most crews charge a 2-hour or 3-hour minimum, even if the move takes 45 minutes.
- California allows movers to charge for drive time from their base to your home and back, so ask how it's quoted.
- Stairs, long carries, or strict HOA parking rules in communities like Sun City or Twelve Bridges can add time or fees.
- Pianos, safes, and big gym equipment often carry a heavy-item surcharge of $150–$300 per piece.
Tips worth knowing before you book
- Verify a mover's CAL-T license with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services before signing.
- Basic liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item; a 30-pound, $2,000 TV would pay out $18, so consider upgrading.
- Get a binding or binding not-to-exceed estimate. A non-binding one can climb 10%–25% on moving day.
- June through September often passes 100°F, so request a 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM start to keep the crew moving safely.
- Tips are customary: about $20–$40 per mover for a half-day and $50–$100 per mover for a full day.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $92,704 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in California report $106,048. 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 Placer County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 19% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
