|---|---|

| Studio or 1-bedroom | $300–$800, about 3–5 hours |

| Labor-only, two helpers | $75–$80 per hour |
Details That Affect the Final Bill
- Travel charges are legal in Illinois. Ask when the clock starts and stops because a flat extra hour for warehouse-to-home travel is common.
- Basic carrier liability is included but pays just $0.60 per pound per item. A 30-pound TV worth $1,000 would settle at $18, so look into full-value protection or your own policy.
- Check with the Village of Homewood about temporary parking permits if a large truck may block a narrow street or alley.
- Hazardous items such as propane tanks, paint, bleach, aerosol cans, and nail polish remover cannot legally go on the truck.
- Tips are optional; a typical range is $4–$5 per mover per hour, or 15%–20% of the job total divided among the crew.

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.
