Local intrastate moves in North Carolina are regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC). Under the state's Maximum Rate Tariff 2.0, legal caps limit what licensed companies can charge per hour: $188.40 per hour for 2 movers plus a truck, and $243.30 per hour for 3 movers plus a truck. Reputable licensed movers often charge slightly below these maximum legal ceilings, but beware of unverified operators or brokers quoting outside these bounds.
Additional cost factors: most local moving companies enforce a 3-hour minimum for hourly-billed moves, and expect an additional one-way or flat-rate travel charge (often equivalent to one hour of labor) to cover transit time to your origin and back from your destination.
While a 3-person crew costs more per hour, they work significantly faster — especially for larger homes (2+ bedrooms), heavy furniture, or locations with stairs or long walking distances — which can sometimes keep the total bottom-line labor time lower than a 2-person crew.

High Point refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.7 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.66), 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 $66,295 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in North Carolina report $51,601. 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 Guilford County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 26% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
