Before moving day, check that your larger furniture will actually fit through doorways, stairwells, and tight turns at your new place. South Carolina requires movers to register their hourly rates and billing minimums with the state, so a legitimate company should be able to confirm that on request. If you're tipping the crew, $4 to $5 per mover per hour is the standard guideline for a job well done.

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 Sumter County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 62% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
