Reading the mover cards
Each listing shows whether the company is licensed and insured. The license status tells you the mover has an active TxDMV number, which is required for any move within Texas. The insurance badge indicates the carrier meets state coverage rules. Review count shows how many customers have left feedback; a higher count usually means a more established track record, while a smaller count can still be solid if the ratings are consistently positive.
How Arlington prices are structured
Local moves in Arlington and the broader DFW area are billed by the hour for the crew plus the truck. A small move can run a few hundred dollars, while larger homes can climb past a few thousand. Long-distance moves are priced by shipment weight and mileage, not by the hour.
Questions that prevent a surprise bill
Ask when the clock starts and stops, since some companies charge travel time from their warehouse to your door and back. In summer, heat and high demand can stretch jobs and raise rates, so book a morning slot when possible. Heavy items such as pianos and safes, long walks from the truck, and stairs or elevators often carry extra fees. Basic liability coverage is typically $0.60 per pound per item; if you own high-value pieces, ask about Full Value Protection.

Arlington 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 (1.76 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.78), 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 $72,952 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Texas report $68,708. 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 Tarrant County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
