Local versus long-distance and hourly options
Boxford residents face a choice between staying local inside Massachusetts, where a move averages $1,400, or going 1,000 miles for an average of $5,450. Local work bills hourly based on a crew of 2 to 4 plus truck fees, and any relocation under 150 miles from Boston follows that same hourly approach.
Massachusetts movers typically set $75 per hour for each person on the crew. Statewide the hourly labor rate averages $101. For those supplying their own vehicle, labor-only help in Boxford itself usually costs between $396.23 and $856.97.
The following baseline costs exclude heavy packing add-ons or special handling and vary with time on the job.

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 Essex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 16% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
