Local factors
Cheat Lake's winding roads, steep inclines, and gated or lakefront communities can be tough for large trucks to navigate. Ask whether your mover needs to dispatch a smaller shuttle truck for tight residential drives, since that can add a fee. Winters here bring snow and ice that can delay trucks or make driveways treacherous, so build in flexibility if you're moving in the colder months. Also ask about charges for stairs, long carries from the truck to your door, heavy items like pianos or safes, and fuel surcharges before you commit, and get any estimate in writing.

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 Monongalia County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 57% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
