Moving Companies in Troy, TX
What movers charge around Troy
Troy sits along I-35 between Temple and Waco, and most crews covering the town are based out of Temple or Belton rather than Troy itself. A two-person crew and truck runs $100 to $150 an hour; step up to three movers and that climbs to $150 to $200 or more. Expect a standard travel fee too, usually equal to about an hour of labor, to cover the drive out from their base and back, plus a two-to-three hour minimum charge even for a short job.
Ask directly whether the hourly clock starts when the crew leaves their shop or when they arrive at your door — a transparent company answers without hesitation. Heavy items like a piano, a large gun safe, or a hot tub typically carry a separate flat fee, often $150 to $400 or more, because they need specialized equipment. Basic liability coverage required by law is thin: about $0.60 a pound per item, so a $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds is worth just $18 in a claim. Request a binding or not-to-exceed estimate based on an actual walkthrough rather than a phone guess, so the total cannot move once the truck is loaded.

Troy refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $50,171 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Texas report $56,804. 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 Bell County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 34% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
