What local movers charge in Rancho Cordova
Local jobs in the Sacramento area are billed hourly, with the rate set by crew size.
| Service | Hourly rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers with a truck | $100 to $130 per hour | 3-hour minimum; suits studios and smaller apartments |
| 3 to 4 movers with trucks | $150 to $220+ per hour | Better for larger homes |
| Labor only, 2 helpers | $80 to $115 per hour | You supply the truck or container |
Full job totals scale with the home: $400 - $650 for a studio or 1-bedroom, $800 - $1,300 for a 2-bedroom and $1,600 - $3,200+ for a 3 to 4-bedroom house.
What to watch for
- Travel billing: when the depot sits 30 minutes or more away, expect about an extra hour of travel time on the invoice.
- Access fees: stairs, long hallways, safes, large appliances and extra stops at a storage unit all cost more unless they appear in the written estimate.
- Damage coverage: basic liability pays $0.60 per pound per item - a dropped $1,000 television weighing 40 pounds returns $24 - so ask about Full Value Protection for anything valuable.
- Summer heat: Central Valley afternoons run 95 to 100 degrees, so an 8:00 AM start keeps the crew moving fast and your belongings out of a baking truck.
- Parking and traffic: reserve space for a 26-foot truck close to your door and plan the route around Highway 50 commute hours, since idle time on an hourly job is your money.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $66,652 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in California report $73,511. 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 Sacramento County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
