A few rules protect your budget here. Treat any quote far below the others as a bait-and-switch risk, with extra fees appearing on moving day. Keep deposits minimal - under 10% - or pay on completion. Basic carrier liability pays 60 cents per pound per item, so ask about full-value protection for electronics.

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 San Bernardino County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 11% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
