Moving Companies in Kent, OH
Moving Costs in Kent
Movers around Kent generally charge by the hour for anything under about 50 to 100 miles. The going rate averages $122 per mover, and most companies hold to a two-hour minimum no matter how small the job.
Booking during the busiest stretch of the year can add 20 to 30 percent to that rate, so a midweek or off-season date is worth asking about. If you only need loading or unloading help after renting your own truck, labor-only crews run closer to $74 an hour, averaging around $450 for a standard job.
Typical Totals by Home Size
| Home Size | Estimated Total |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $400 - $1,000 |
| 2-3 bedrooms | $1,000 - $2,200 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $2,200 - $4,000+ |

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 Portage County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
