Tomball movers price local jobs by the hour rather than by weight or distance, as long as the move stays under about 50 miles.

A standard 2-person crew runs around $103 per hour on average, though rates span $70 to $130+ depending on crew size — a 3- to 4-person team costs more per hour but often finishes faster. Add it up over a full move and totals commonly land between $424 and $3,435, driven mostly by home size: a studio moves fast and cheap, a 4-bedroom house takes a full crew most of a day.

Already have a truck or POD and just need labor? Expect to pay around $70 an hour, averaging roughly $375 for a typical job. Stairs and larger inventories add hours regardless of which option you pick, so factor that into any estimate before comparing.

Households arriving from another state report $78,284 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Texas report $70,583. 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 Harris County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 9% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
