Several Illinois movers add either a travel fee or one flat extra hour for the return trip to the depot, so ask about that rule before booking. Stairs, long carries, pianos or safes, and extra packing can also push the hourly total upward. Check parking or association rules ahead of time, because a truck parked far from the door adds labor time. For fragile or high-value pieces, ask about full-value protection instead of relying only on the basic coverage.

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 Cook County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 8% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
