What does a long-distance move cost?
Once you cross roughly 50 miles, pricing switches from an hourly rate to a flat rate based on weight and distance, typically landing somewhere between $1,000 and $5,500 or more depending on how much you own.
Why can crossing town add hours to my bill?
Jacksonville covers a huge land area, so a move from one side of the city to the other can burn one to two hours just in drive time over its bridges and highways. Ask whether your quote includes a flat travel fee or whether the hourly clock starts the moment the crew leaves their warehouse.
How do I avoid a surprise price on moving day?
Gated communities and HOAs are common here, and if your crew gets stuck at a gate waiting on clearance, you are usually paying for that wait, so give your HOA notice ahead of time. Insist on a written binding estimate rather than a phone quote, and confirm the company is registered with FDACS before you book.

Who's moving to Jacksonville, FL
Federal tax-filer migration data for Duval County.
54% arrived from another state. Long-haul moves need a carrier with active interstate operating authority — plenty of local companies don't hold one.
See licensed movers50% 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.

Jacksonville 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 (1.66 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.75), 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 $68,056 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Florida report $66,339. 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 Duval 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.
