Most companies also add a flat "clock start" or travel fee to cover the drive from their depot to your door and back, so ask when billing actually begins. Basic liability coverage included in every quote is thin, paying only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 50-pound TV worth $1,000 would get you just $30 if it's damaged. Warwick's narrow coastal streets in neighborhoods like Oakland Beach and Buttonwoods, plus tight multi-family stairwells, can trigger a long-carry fee or the need for a shuttle truck if the crew can't park close to your door, so mention any tight corners or stairs when you book. Tipping isn't required but is customary: plan on $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total bill split among the crew. Booking mid-month and mid-week, rather than at month-end or on a weekend, is the simplest way to land a lower hourly rate. The mover directory below is a good next stop for comparing local crews.

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 Kent County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 30% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
