Before You Book
Ask exactly when the hourly clock starts -- many companies bill travel time from their own warehouse to your address, not just time spent at your home. Central Florida's summer heat and humidity push crews to take mandatory hydration breaks, so an early-morning slot avoids both the worst heat and afternoon thunderstorms. Basic carrier liability is only about $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a broken $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds is covered for just $18 unless you buy full-value protection. Movers also can't legally transport propane tanks, paint, aerosols, or bleach, so plan to move those yourself. Cash tips run roughly $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or a flat $20 to $50 per person for a harder job.

Forest City refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.65 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.64), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $76,985 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Florida report $57,104. 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 Seminole County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 19% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
