Moving Companies in Nantucket, MA
An offshore location 30 miles from land means Nantucket moves always involve ferry bookings plus extra packing and handling that land-based jobs avoid. Such procedures together with the island setting produce higher bills.
Housing represents the top household cost, sitting 318 percent higher than typical figures nationwide, an imbalance that carries over into labor rates and equipment fees.

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 Nantucket County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 86% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
