Long Distance Moving Study from Stevens Moving & Storage of Toledo

There are tens of thousands of long-distance moves that take place each year. Many of them have differing origins and destinations, like someone moving from Cleveland to Detroit; different reasons for moving, like starting a new job or the first semester at college; and then there are all the different types of moves, like commercial relocations, senior citizen moves and specialty moving services.

What almost all of these long-distance moves have in common is that they involve moving from state-to-state, with the exception of long distance moves that occur within some of the larger states like Texas and California. When moving companies examine these overall interstate moving trends, they can often get insights into peoples moving habits that they can use to create a better long distance moving experience with their customers.

We were able to show, state by state, how many people moved, how far they traveled during their move and how much stuff they brought along for the ride.
