Before You Book
Ask exactly how travel time is calculated, since companies bill their hourly rate for the drive to and from your address on top of the job itself. Get a written binding estimate rather than a verbal guess, and check what valuation coverage is included — basic liability is capped at $0.60 per pound per item, so a $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds would only be covered for about $18 if it's damaged. Summer moves into coastal areas can also mean extra care around narrow roads and street parking rules.

Westerly 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 (1.53 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.45), 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 $110,432 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Rhode Island report $103,449. 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 Washington County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 38% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
