College Season Crowds and Stair Access
Smith College drives population spikes plus scarce parking from the close of August into early September and again in mid-May, which can turn a brief local job into a longer ordeal with traffic delays.
Many historic homes and central apartments include steep climbs to the third floor along with cramped stairs, leading movers to apply extra charges or work more slowly on those plus any lengthy path from the parked truck.

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 Hampshire County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 34% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
