Who's moving to Sylmar, CA

Federal tax-filer migration data for Los Angeles County.

285,327 households moved in or out · the busiest moving market in the U.S.
What kind of mover will you need?
Moving in
122,437 households arrived
17% under 50 mi 25% 50–250 mi 52% over 250 mi 7% not attributed

52% arrived from elsewhere in California. Most arrivals are in-state moves, so a regional company will usually cover it — check interstate authority only if you're crossing a state line.

See licensed movers
Moving out
162,890 households left
16% under 50 mi 31% 50–250 mi 47% over 250 mi 6% not attributed

78% of departures went farther than 50 miles. Beyond that range moves are priced by weight and distance, and a state line means the carrier needs interstate authority.

Households arriving from another state report $95,475 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in California report $82,810. 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 Los Angeles County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 6% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

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.
