Comparing Move Sizes in La Plata
Local moves within 50 to 100 miles are billed by the hour based on crew size: a two-mover crew runs $100 to $200 an hour, while a three- to four-mover crew runs $150 to $300 or more per hour. Larger homes often need the bigger crew just to finish the job in a reasonable day, which raises both the rate and the total hours. Long-distance moves are priced by the weight of your shipment and the mileage instead of an hourly rate.
| Home Size | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-Bedroom | $300 - $800 |
| 2- to 3-Bedroom | $900 - $2,200 |
| 4+ Bedroom | $2,300 - $4,000+ |
A studio or one-bedroom move takes roughly 3 to 5 hours, while a two- to three-bedroom home runs 6 to 10 hours, and a four-bedroom-plus house can run longer depending on packing complexity and volume. Larger homes cost more mainly because they take longer to load and need more hands, not because of a dramatically higher rate.

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 Charles County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 32% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
