Where you land in each range comes down to two things: how much you own, and how much of the packing you do yourself. Hiring a crew just to load and unload a rental truck costs less than paying them to also pack every box. Heavy or oversized items, like a piano or a large safe, tend to push the total higher too.
Because the gap between the low and high end of each range is wide, it pays to get a detailed walkthrough estimate rather than a rough phone quote, so you know which end of the range your move will actually fall into.
A few local movers also offer furniture and junk removal as an add-on for anyone downsizing rather than moving everything, which can work out cheaper than paying an hourly crew to haul away items you don't plan to keep.

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 New Castle County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 36% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
