- 3-mover crew: typically $140–$185/hour.

| Home Size | Typical Total Cost | Typical Labor Time |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom apartment | $250 – $600 | 2 to 3 hours |
| 2 to 3-bedroom home / townhome | $450 – $1,200 | 3 to 5 hours |
| 4+ bedroom house | $1,400 – $3,200+ | 5 to 8+ hours, requiring larger 3–4 person crews |
For a move billed hourly in Morrisville, local moving companies in the Raleigh-Durham area typically price the job by crew size and whether a truck is included. 2-person crew + truck: expect to pay between $130 and $150 per hour on average. 3-person crew + truck: expect to pay between $180 and $210 per hour on average.
- Hourly difference: upgrading from a 2-person crew to a 3-person crew typically adds $50 to $60 per hour to your bill.
- Efficiency vs. cost: a 3-person crew has a higher hourly rate, but they work significantly faster—especially for larger homes, heavy furniture, or locations with stairs/long walks. For a 2-to-3 bedroom home, the total time saved with a third mover often offsets the higher hourly rate, making the total project cost comparable while cutting down overall move time.
- Minimums: most local movers in the Triangle area enforce a 2- to 3-hour minimum charge regardless of crew size, plus a one-time travel or fuel fee.

Morrisville 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.

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 Wake County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
