What local moves tend to cost
Local pricing usually follows the clock and the size of the crew. Rates generally run $85 to $110 per mover per hour, while a 2-to-3-person crew commonly totals about $300 to $400 or more per hour combined. A studio or one-bedroom apartment typically costs $800 to $1,100 for a local move lasting 4 to 6 hours. A 2-to-3-bedroom house can land between $1,200 and $2,500 or higher, depending on volume, heavy pieces, and assembly work. One NYC local-move estimate puts the average at $1,050, which can be a rough benchmark for Central Islip.
For out-of-state moves, pricing shifts from time to weight, volume, and mileage. Long-distance relocations frequently start around $2,200 to $6,000 or more.

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 Suffolk County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 13% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
