Moving Companies in Centerville, MA
Cape Cod geography sets Centerville moves apart from typical Massachusetts jobs. Summer tourist traffic clogs Route 28 and Mid-Cape corridors from Friday to Sunday, so starting on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday avoids extra billed hours stuck in congestion. Crossing the Sagamore or Bourne bridges to leave the Cape usually brings added travel time or mileage fees for the canal. Historic houses frequently have narrow doorways and steep stairs that only a walkthrough can price correctly.
Jobs that stay within Centerville or a 50-mile radius count as local and follow hourly billing based on crew size plus travel. Most licensed companies apply a two-to-three-hour minimum plus a separate travel or fuel surcharge.

Centerville refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country replaces them almost one for one. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.56 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.45), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $119,079 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Massachusetts report $174,209. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Barnstable County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 31% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
