Nearly all local movers also enforce a 2-to-4-hour minimum, which means a quick apartment job still costs the minimum, and the multi-family complexes common in Pittsburg bring third-floor walk-ups and long carries past 75 feet that trigger stair and distance surcharges unless disclosed upfront.

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.
