How many people actually move between Oakland and Los Angeles, CA

Federal tax-filer records, 2022-2023 · about 331 miles apart

-168 net
2,749 out
2,581 in

Over the year, 2,749 people moved from Oakland to Los Angeles, CA, and 2,581 came back the other way. At 331 miles this is a long-haul job, priced by weight and distance rather than by the hour.

Where this comes from: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023 — the IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns; the counts above are the people on those returns. County-level and about two years behind.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
