Methodology

Figures are aggregated from quote requests submitted on our moving sites, grouped by destination state, origin state, and move type. We report counts only — never names, contact details, or addresses. Because this measures requests rather than completed relocations, it captures moving intent and interest, which tends to lead actual moves by weeks or months.

Frequently asked questions

Is this based on real data?
Yes — it aggregates real, anonymized quote requests submitted on our sites. It’s reported as counts with no personally identifiable information.
Does this show completed moves?
No. It shows demand — where people are requesting quotes — which is a leading indicator of moves, not a record of completed relocations.
